[Jason Porthouse] “Take a look at one of the clips in the new sequence by double-clicking, then look at the Filters tab in the Canvas. It should have the Shift Fields filter on it. If so, then… “
Why would you want the shift fields filter on. It’s going from SD to SD so it should maintain lower field dominance.

[walter biscardi] “When you put the exact same image side by side, shot in DV Format and DVCAM format, the DVCAM format will always be cleaner. That’s where I’m getting the information from. Tests we have done here and from the productions that have through this facility. “
Well I’m certainly not going to dig in the closet and pull out camera’s we haven’t used since 2005 to test what is a dead format to us. But there is absolutely no way DVCAM should be cleaner because it uses the exact same compression scheme as mini dv, dvcpro, and digital 8. Less prone to drop out because it’s spread out across more of the tape? Yes. But less compression and more color info. No.
I’d love to see it on scopes, but it’s pretty much a moot point on something I haven’t used for acquisition in years.

I forgot also to mention that all the DV formats are also 4:1:1 color space. Now Digi Beta and DVCPRO50 on the other hand are both 4:2:2 color space with Digi Beta being 2.5:1 compression and DVCPRO50 being 3.3:1 compression. Both are 50Mbit compared to DV’s 25Mbit.

[walter biscardi] “The tape transport runs faster, spreads the information across more tape, slightly less compression, slightly better color. “
The compression schemes are the exact same. I’m not sure where you’re getting that info from. If you go by transport faster, spreads info across more tape, I’d have to say the Digital 8 should be the king.
DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO, and Digital 8 are all 5:1 DVC-format DCT, intra-frame; 25 Mbps video data rate.
Maybe you’ve been working in HD land so long, you’re losing touch with SD 😉

[walter biscardi] “If your camera can shoot in DVCAM mode, then yes, there is a difference between shooting in DV with MiniDV tapes and DVCAM Mode using actual DVCAM tapes. DVCAM is cleaner. Still not as clean as BetaSP or DigiBeta to begin with but cleaner. “
Can you explain how DVCAM would be cleaner than min DV coming from the same camera? I thought the only difference was the speed at which the tape transport ran. If it’s digital its just 1 and 0’s. DVCAM would be less prone to drop outs, but wouldn’t the picture quality be the same coming from the same camera?

double post. sorry.

As others have said it probably because of working with DV footage.
Or it could have nothing to do with your process and completely on how the broadcasting station is broadcasting. They are re-compressing your show before it goes to air. It could also be happening as the closed caption is adding another pass to the process. By going from mini dv to beta you’re taking a hit, and depending on where captioning is added, you’re taking another hit. Than a hit at the station as they need to compress it for broadcast. Then there’s the whole issue what system you’re watching it on. Over the air antenna? Satellite? Cable? Over the air would be the best quality. Depending on your Satellite or Cable provider the station you’re airing on my only be alloted so much bandwidth.
The show you see broadcast will never look as good as the show leaving you’re studio.
Especially on the Pursuit channel, which is usually a lower bandwidth on any cable/satellite provider.

I’d sign that in a heartbeat. Although depending on how much blood was needed to sign my heart might not be beating.

[Steve Wargo] “Doesn’t anyone care enough to simply check their work? I’ll even pay them to do it. It seems like this is something that has really come up in the last 5 years. Before that, I saw a lot higher level of professionalism. We have a policy that nothing goes out without hitting a second set of eyes and it still happens. Jeez. “
I will admit that I am a terrible speller. Putting spell check into photoshop was one of the greatest things that ever happened for me. Wish my edit software would incorporate it. I can see something a hundred times and not notice a misspelling.
Unfortunately stuff leaves our office with misspellings on a frequent basis. And who do you blame because there’s usually 5 sets of eyes that see everything before it goes out the door and usually 2 sets of those eyes are magazine editors.
