Will this plug in help with smoothing out long dissolves (so the flickering and waves of particles that vaguely appear in the studio monitor (and GROSSLY appear when compressed for dvd) .. )
HELP!!! or are there others more suited to solving this problem?

Project shot in DVCAM pd150, editing on fcp 4.5hd G5. Music video with tons of slow dissolves.

tnx

I’m not at all familiar with the file types in Avid. So I can’t respond to my producer/director in that way. He insists, although he doesn’t know the file types either, that once the BetaSP is captured in Avid, that the dgitized source tape files should be suitable for use in FCP.
IS THIS TRUE? can FCP utilize an Avid movie file (captured video file)???

Thanks for all the feedback

Yes. We have a DSR25, no capture card (i.e. AJA) just firewire.
The colleague only shoots BetaSP and has the Avid DV Express studio. I don’t know what deck he is using. My producer has an audio engineering gackground and felt that if the BetaSP footage were captured uncompressed in the Avid, that the files on the Avid computer would be better utilized (transfered to external hard drive) than a tape to tape transfer. That’s how he would do it in the digital ProTools HD world.

For discussion sake, and my edification, would you prefer the DSR45 solution to having a Kona card, etc.?

Thanks

I’ll give it a go.
