sorry, first line incorrect, adobe on-location records as interlaced

[Dave Brandt]

Hi,

I am bringing in the footage from adobe on location, which records the stream as progressive,

I have also tried to import from the tapes directly and the clips are captured as interlaced, which means I have to still use the workaround mentioned above (Dump all files and reimport with prog. settings.)

Is there a setting I am missing to make vegas capture from V1 in Progressive mode? I couldn’t find anything and when I change import settings to Progressive it still captures interlaced.

is there a script that could be written to change media properties for all selected clips in Project media window? That is really what I am after.

the above workaround is usable but not very elegant, especially when capturing to different bins.

Thanks spot,

That’s kind of what I’m after, although not exactly,

I need to have final output progressive, so I want to deinterlace the Z1 footage alright, and leave the V1 progressive alone. This works perfectly when I assign Field order to NONE on the V1 Clips in the project media window, but I have to go into every clip and do it manually instead of just selecting all the V1 progressive clips and changing this one property at once.

I have found a workaround though.

I can import one clip from V1, assign properties and Field order none, then click the little save button. Then when I import the rest of the clips they are automatically assigned progressive. The only thing to watch out for here is that I need to change settings back to interlace when I import the clips form Z1

Not perfect, but it works

use mpeg streamclip (free download).

I use it to convert HDV footage captured on pc to quicktime for FCP, but it will convert from and to a lot of different formats.

depending on what program you use on the PC it may be able to read AAF files (Nuendo for example) aaf files can be created from soundtrack pro.

Hope this helps

there is another simpler way. just export using quicktime conversion, but in the size options choose a custom setup with a 16:9 ratio. for example 480×270. although the video is not letterboxed in quicktime viewer youtube does display the letterboxing, and so the correct aspect ratio
