I have a 23″ cin and 17″ – I will never go back to “4/3″ monitor again. The FCP timeline width is great! When I can I will upgrade video cards and pick up a 30” too!

I have had an issue with compressor and DVDSP screwing up the field order. Compressor-In the presets for the video there is an option for field order and by default it is set to automatic. Change that to lower and recompress. Their is also a simular setting in DVDSP.

I upgraded my whole system a month ago.(tiger-fcp5 suite) My partner who is a Mac genius recommended and I did a complete erase and install of the system HD. He and others had problems just upgrading to Tiger. It also was nice to start over with a clean system.

I have owned both 170 and DVX. The problem with shooting two radically different cams is matching footage. The DVX image smokes anything the sony’s can put out. One solution is to adjust a scene file’s the gamma and other settings on the dvx to match more closely that of the VX. Best of both worlds when you can use it for FUN!

Never tried for that look but I can think of a few ways. It depends on background as well.
-Green screen- but looks really bad unless its done well.
-The actor could move in “slow motion”and you could speed the footage up to make him look normal.
– other ways exists to composite two identical static shots but rotoscoping takes for ever with out having a cleen seperation of the for and backgrounds.
good luck!

Sorry I so late responding-
I have the same thing happen. There was no reason for the error I could find- Even my pro authoror friend was clue less. The work around I found was to compress with QT pro. It had no problm wioth the media on the hangupp spot.
Hope that works.

How many HD projects are viewed on a crt HDTV? Most are plasma/LCD variety right? So whats gained by coloring on a crt? My guess is that they might have “truer” color space. I bought one of the 23″hd CD’s for the same reason, cause I don’t have 4G’s to drop on a hd crt monitor.
SD no question- Must be colored on a broadcast monitor.
I guess I asked more questions than I answered- but inquiring minds want to know.

Walter- Thanks!! The difference is dramatic. They don’t mention that option in the manual- maybe I just missed it.
