“720p is a truly progressive format, while the 1080psf format is actually 2 progressive frames that melded back into a single frame (called Progressive Segmented Frames), and in content with high motion that can result with an “interlaced look” even though the content is progressive.””
That’s rubbish. 1080psf24 looks identical to 1080p24, and in terms of progressiveness and motion, identical to 720p24 and does not ever look interlaced, even on high motion. I wonder where on earth people get these strange notions from?!

Apple can do anything funky they want, but they don’t tell anywone else how. AE plugins work in FCP, but only old style V3 ones, using the old AE SDK, and compiled in Code Warrior I think. Writing the algorithm is very easy, but working with the API can be tricky.

Paul did an interview with me https://www.pfiggianimsc.com/blog/ and the Film Effects was used on the BBC Snooker https://www.nattress.com/Snooker_Film_Effects.pdf
Oh, and Megan has 6 teeth now!
Thanks,

Of course, Setting a DV camera to add setup doesn’t do any such thing, but boosts blacks to an illegal REC601 value of 32. Sounds like that facility needs to send it’s engineer on a digital refresher course!

FCP doesn’t allow you the GUI controls to do something like that, which is a shame…..

Manufacturers contrast ratios are usually a load of bunkum. There’s as many ways to measure them, and fiddle the figures that they’re not even wort looking at.
The brightness of an LCD monitor can be very high indeed, and indeed, increasing the brightness can lead to a higher contrast rating, but often this will be done with a brightness that’s too high to use. I generally knock the brightness right back on all my LCD monitors to produce a more useful picture. Black levels are very hard to get lower, and they’re the real limit on contrast. However, the practical contrast levels of both decent LCD and CRT monitors are very comparable because CRTs have a problem where bright areas halo and glow into surrounding darker regions to a much greater extent than happens with LCD.

“G Super Levels” in my Set 1, is not quite a full curves plugin, but does give a great deal of control over each channel. http://www.nattress.com

Thanks Chris. It’s still in the works, and it’s proving tricky, but I hope that just means it’s going to be even better when I get it working.
