[erick@VBS] “I have a client who tells me they shot Varicam 1080P 24 fps (23.98).”

It was not shot this way, as the VariCam is a 720p only camera. The 24 fps are made from a pulldownpattern from a 60 fps videostream.

[erick@VBS] ” They then downconverted for offline to DV/DVCam codec at 29.97.”

This sounds sorta reasonable, doesn’t it?

[erick@VBS] “Now they’ve brought me a sequence that was cut at 29.97 and they want to uprez and conform back to 24fps. EEEEEEEEEK!!!!”

Is this not the point when you recapture the tapes at full rez (from the aj 1200) either through hd-sdi if you need upscaling to 1080 or through firewire if you want to stay in the 720p domain, apply the FRC and render out the final movie?

No.

Why look at the obvious? -;))

Sorta didn’t think about that as I haven’t done anything Macromedia ever.

But that is of course the obvious solution.

I’ll give it a shot tomorrow.

Thanks!

OK.

I found out I could once again do without iMovie. Hooray!

iStopmotion is a fantastic little app. You can get it in DV or resolutionindependent flavours.

For a while I thought: Apple should buy this! It’s a wonderfull app.

And then again: No, no, no. Don’t degrade it to the level of the other iApps

But it would be a nice plugin to FCP/Motion, though.
(I especially like the fact that you controll the camera from the computer and that all frames are recorded directly to the computer.)

[alex viarnes] “These “gizmos” (there are at least three I can think of) allow you to attach 35mm lenses to a video camera”

Which are the other two?

i50 is, p25 isn’t.

[Gunleik Groven]

Thanks!

As there is no p25 preset anywhere, is it ok to go to i50?
