Benjamin, processor effects like Warp Stabilizer usually are pretty good at addressing footage with issues in the X and Y axis.
Your walkthrough shots are changing every moment in the Z axis as well. This makes it almost impossible for effects like these to compensate, because the parameters of the shot they use to adjust also keep changing.

USB connection for Windows PC’s, 1394 for Macs. See pages 77 and 78 in the manual.
With Macs the computer needs to be on before connecting or it may not be recognized. Hibernation can also drop the connection.
If you do not have the manual a PDF version is available: https://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/AGHVX200.PDF

Are you on PC’s or Macs? One of you mentions PC, but ProRes is a no-go on PC without some pokery-jiggery.

Thanks Ann. I had a feeling it was a software limitation. Hopefully I will not have to deal with it much longer.

And even if you have no significant number of house shots, what about images of people in the story? If you can come up with people images, that might help fill and cover.

Thanks Walter. We’ve been working with 720P because that is our default on-air resolution. But you’re right; there’s no harm in going to 1080i – the server will handle getting it down the pipe at 720P; confirmed that with the engineers.
The original was done in SD because we are VERY late in the game going full HD on air. It did not happen until our MC operation was hubbed. Until very recently we were still operating out of a fully NTSC SD local master control.
In 2013.

What Dave said. The client may not understand the fundamental difference between additive and subtractive color environments.
These can sometimes be the folks who ask you to “print” the video on paper for them, or are disappointed that the printed copy of screen captured video is so low. Print and video and completely different animals, and they cannot be expected to look “exactly” the same. We can make them “appear” the same.
When I have a client with this issue, I encourage them that it is time to establish video standards and style sheets for their logos and elements. If they give me the blank look at “style sheets” we have our answer!

Was the project stored on an internal drive or external? If external, could the drive have been undocked/redocked incorrectly?

Todd, turns out AME was present all along. User is a great AE wiz, just not deep on the suite concept for Adobe products. I just showed him how much faster and easier it is to set up,queue and render deliverables in AME; he was blown away.
Next question: current workflow is render an uncompressed file for archive (this is all TV short-form.)
Is there a workflow to pitch AE comps straight to AME for rendering? Or should we render uncompressed in AE, then use that uncompressed file for other deliverables in AME?
Thanks so much for jumping in on this!

Believe it or not Todd, it is possible that happened. The joys of engineers and corporate systems. I’ll look into it.
