I don’t believe this will work with all codecs, such as Black Magic’s or Apple’s 10bit codec, you must use a codec that can carry an alpha, such as Animation.

There is a museum of moving images in NYC…don’t know if this is anything they would be after…but worth a shot.

Man, I hope someday we can just export with pulldown straight from FCP…seems like a no-brainer to me as far as things that should be included within the app.

I just keep amending this…but I just searched around, and looks like Nattress Standards converter is the way to go…bummer. What about laying off to digibeta through my Kona card (which is supposed to add the 3:2 on the fly, right?) and then capturing off the tape? This seems like a lot of work, but Flame guys do this kind of thing all the time.

Thanks,
Eli

P.S. I mean to ask if I can add a pulldown to a QT on the fly…I know that FCP can add it on the fly on an output to tape.

This is not just a filter, or a program. Yes they did use a special program that was created by a guy named Bob Sabiston, but as far as I know it is not available for purchase by the general public. Though they had this program, it wasn’t a matter of just running the footage through it and presto! it’s done. Thise “look” is the work of hundreds of rotoscopers and animators…it is a very tedious process.

Well…as I thought, ther are different schools of thought on this whole thing. If I were to give the rotscopers/keyers the footage at 10bit, should I drop my footage on a 10bit timeline and render it before exporting, or should I just export to 10bit straight from the DVCPROHD Timeline?

Thanks,
Eli

Thanks for the responses guys. I must say, if this was all just up to me, I would probably just work native DVCPROHD…but I find my graphics co-workers seem to be a little scared of the format. I personally really like it quite a bit and can’t discern the difference between that and other HD footage that I have seen.

Thanks Again,

Thanks for all the responses…luckly I was able to convince them to rent the deck and forget about the digibeta nonsense. So far smooth sailing.

I used Lumiere HD…a bit clunky…but after a couple trials got it working with HDV 24p from this camera…looked good.
