Pardon my elementary question, I’m on severe sleep deprivation, if the show is going to DVD, not broadcast, and will be used in corporate environment via computers AND display NTSC monitors, wouldn’t native aspect (720×480) be the way to go? (I only have 4:3 and 16:9 options in my encoder )

Compressor: 60 Hi quality= 2 pass vbr, 6.8 average bit rate, max = 7.5
I’ll double check whether the timeline was rendered or not. Which is preferred?

[Hal Beery]

Yes, I”m curious too. I have experienced very funky transitions in fcp. flickering and waves of pixels moving across the screen that are extremely exagerated even in the more expensive encoding in la la land. I’m curios if Avid can do transitions between dark and light clips and skies more smoothly than fcp. If so, it will be the begining of a new love affair.

tnx for any comments on the transition experience in avidland

I bent twenty six ways from hell and even chv didn’t help with scrolling credits. the only thing that did was to eliminate scrolling credits from the show. Does after effects work? any presets or suggestions?
tnx

Chris,
I’m on the verge of going uncompressed for the reasons you’ve noted here, yet I know very little about what it takes, hardware, etc. Is it a matter of getting a kona card and a huge or similar raid drive? can fw800 be used if i’m just doing dvcam masters and dvd’s?
tnx

I have freeze frame jpg’s if you’d like to see the culprits.

Same as the browser info: “not set”

[Hal Beery]

Thank YOU, Jerry!
I’m at wits end here. Suggestions are SO welcome!
ergo:
I just examined the browser for discrepencies of any kind in the clips and the one glaring aspect relates to field dominance:
None of the source clips have a field dominance indicator in the brouser. Should they?

I shot them drop frame, dvcam with a pd150 and a pd170 but someone else captured them to lacie fw800 drives via the dsr25 via firewire. The sequences are set to drop frame also.

What else would you look for? Where?

Thank you very very very much for responding.

Actually I didn’t, but my client did. “if at first you don’t succeed…..” He has copy and pasted, manually entered, yada yada the key code in the registration space repeatedly, and attempted to do it via the online process but nothing works. Apple support was useless.

Thanks for the feedback on QT7.

Would this Joe’s filter have a chance at removing the grain or speckly particles that appear in long dissolves between dark and light scenes?
or should I be shooting with 35mm or HD? just kidding, I”m really frustrated with trying to get those pesky little particles out of the dissolve. CGM dissolve seems to help a lot, got 95% out. But there still remains a bit of noise. Ideas?
tnx
