I’m confused, you say you’re currently in FC, but are you talking about doing the effect in AFX i assume? There are plugins like MagicBullet’s Misfire suite which will do a lot of “film reel” effects.

No we can and have shot to P2, but I had no idea DVRack was degrading it so much. It does make sense, i’ve been scratching my head at times with some of the artifacting… but even so–looking at the QT files that DVrack spits out, after the fact, on our editing computer, they look dynamically conservative compared to the same file imported into after effects which comes out far more crushed. I’m not arguing with what you guys are saying, that’s great (or not so great!) to know, but it doesn’t explain what’s going on with AFX… maybe I’ll try A/Bing the last shots we still have on the P2 card and see A if it looks better and B imports into AFX more nicely. Sucks to hear about DV rack though, the way it changes shooting with a video camera is indispensible! I guess the solution is to monitor with DV rack but use the P2 card for transfer…

Well I had read I think on another forum where someone asked about that, and even if he should put them through Final Cut first, and a few people came back and said not to worry–that AFX handles the conversion well so I hadn’t considered it. But I’ll look that up, thanks for the tip!
