[Grinner Hester]

did I misunderstand the problem? I thought there were a few missing pixels due to a bad chip in the camera.
we talkin somthing up in the VITC?

naaaa. if it’s being projected, just letterbox it. They can adjust size, ect. You will only lose rez by blowing it up.
you can throw this on as filler over the whole sequence and it’ll all be done with one drop.
FYI, a resize with highth at 75 percent is better than th aliased letterbox filter. I dunno how ya alias a horizontal line but they’ve managed it.

you’d be surprised how removing that frame will work. as bouke mentioend, get in that area, step back a field at a time and when you see ther droput mark an in and an out and hit ther scissors with all tracks selected. uo can thro a lil one fame dissolve on the audio if ya need to.

you cannot go by what system it’s on. Your scopes and a properly calibrated NTSC monitor/your eyes are your tools for this.
all decks are gonna vary playback a bit… hence the color bars at the front of every master.

I never do the “brought to you by” vibe as that becomes a sales pitch and sends enthusiasts/viewers running. I really like to keep it not only a reality feel but almost a home movie vibe. The more unpolished the better in the respect.
While I know this is part of my struggle now, I know this will be my biggest selling point later on.
brings us to a catch 22 situation, huh?
gravitate to old tactics to ensure revenue to lose the biggest selling point later or stick to my guns and wait for the market to catch up to me.

I will say yes to traditional marketing. I do not buy banners in that traditional sense but the automotive world is very viral and word of mouth is my greatest asset. I represent at events nationwide and brand with decals, t-shirts and a presence on automotive forums.
Whats cool about what I do is I do not sell products. I simply show them and offer some linkage. This takes the hard sale out of it and brings the authenticity they require to the table.
I began by doing videos for car parts. Now, I am open to anything from product placement to my wearing their logos while doing stand ups to features on their company or products.
I have already broken the capital rule in haggling. I had to to get started though. I don’t hagle with post-production clients because I truely would rather them sit it out so I can work on this. As you can imagine, that resulted in endless bookings. It’s the same mentality as a 9th grade boy frothing over the head cheerleader and asking her out to a point it irritates her vs the cold quiet guy who snubs her then gets to, well you get it.
I have not been able to stick my chest out like this with this endevor yet. I know if I did, I’d have no sponsors and no content. I have done trade deals, cheap gigs and endless freebies on this for over 3 years. I see the potential. I guess this is where frustration comes from.

while the deinterlacing trick does band-aid some things, as you are finding, it introduces some as well.
Again, I suggest after effects. If you are gonna be an Avid editor, you will have to learn after effects. It’s just part of the gig as far as I am concerened.

feel free to ask AE questions here on on the AE forum.

o dude, just track in AE. The tracker in adrenaline is nothing to write home about or in this case, nothing to wait for.
