I have adjusted my sequence settings now to my video..

It exports the correct size now..

Without applying ANY De-interlacing filters, I get a clear image with lines only in fast movements..

When i apply the De-interlace filter. The lives go, but the video becomes EXTREMELY PIXELATED.

I saw this and understood what i meant, but now how i can get around this:

PS another thing..

I set the setting (command+0) to the exact settings as the clips info.. now the image fills the canvas perfectly.. BUT, when i try to export the video is no longer in the shape it was ORIGINALLY or in the CANVAS… Its becomes more square, left and right squashed together..

I tried all difference export settings , Preserve A.R, and sizes… but all come out the same..

Also i notice in the canvas, where you select the % of the size your viewing, the CORRECT FOR ASPECT RATIO is ticked.. When i un-tick it , i see the image the same as the export.. All squashed together..

I have a few versions of this project where i have distorted the aspect ratio in them motions tab, i did it by eye… BUT the video has lost quality…

Hair falling out..

Hey..

Ok, I fixed the things with the lines, Its was interlaced sequence settings..

Here’s the deal…

I really wanna learn about how to set up the sequence/settings for my projects..

I am editing the footage from out band’s show so i just get given the footage from the camera men who film us. Because we perform in different countries every time, its hard to keep the same format, We tell them, but they do what they want most of the time..

This show was filmed with many different cameras and formats, The MAIN camera used was a SONY Z7 and i have an AVI file of it.

Now the only way I know how to see the info of the file is to import it and push Command+9 and read the info..Here is what it says:

Vid Rate: 29.97 FPS
Frame size: 720×480
Compressor: DV/DVCPRO NTSC
Data rate: 3.6 MB/sec
Pixel Aspect: NTSC CCIR 601
Anamorphic: (Ticked)
Field Dominance: Lower (even)
Alpha: None/ignore
Composite: Normal

To be honest, i don’t really know the significance of most of that info nor the way it can make or break a project.. I am doing things by eye, and i like it that way, but quality is being lost in my export which means my sequence setting or setting for this project are wrong..

I would really like for someone to explain to me how to set up a project for this camera and its info..

I have other shot from other cameras that i will include in this project, If they require different sequence setting to get the best results would i need to create projects for all cameras and export into one format to work with …

Anyway, That’s enough info for you to deal with already..

Cheerz in advance for the patience and help…

Hey..

For the last week i have been reading all your, and many others posts on this forum to learn all i can about Wings Platinum 4…

Long story short:

I am in an electronic band, and i also premake visuals for the music in Final Cut, we perform the music with the visuals at our events..

I have decided to up the quality of what we do…

Our next tour will have 3 projection screens (Left – Center – Right of stage) and 4 Plasma Tvs along the front row..

The Tvs will all have the same feed, but the 3 projections will have individual feeds. I have read all about Wings Platinum 4 and spoken with them personally, and i know i can control all i need with that program….

What i need to know is I want, well, HAVE to run it from 1 laptop. As we will be on the road and cant travel with a 4U rack monster hahahah.

So i came across ¨MATROX – TRIPLE HEAD2GO¨ for the Projection screens.

Can i run WIngs Platinum 4, from a laptop using a Matrox Triple head2go smoothly and reliably?

Also, I have looked all over, But i can not find any kind of price for wings platinum 4 or what i will cost me to have this setup..

I will not travel with any projection, Organizers will rent them.

Plus, if you have any ideas which MATROX i should get, They have one with DVI and D-SUB… Whats best for projectors and whats best for Plasma Tvs?

I am a musician, this is gear is new for me, but i make a sick visual 😉

Anyextra help from you and anyother here will be the most helpfull.

GREAT..
