Hi Paul,

I’m interested in this too, as I’m sure are a lot of others.
Maybe a good way to test is use 7toX one of your FCP7 features with all the source footage and post back your conclusions.

Jon.

Try this:

Have used in FCP7 – should work in FCPX being an AU plug.
Works surprisingly well.

Thanks Rafael that worked fine…I searched for hours to find the correct ratio…

Cheers,

Hi Rafael,

Yes do realise that it is a strange ratio, however this is what it says in quicktime:

I’m used to PAL settings, so NTSC PAR settings are a little bit foreign to me.

Will try this and get back to you…

Thanks,
Jon

If you wanted optimum quality I’d check out this plug:

Hi Guys,

De-interlacing reduces resolution especially with the de-interlace filter in FCP – it halves the vertical resolution. Watch on a broadcast monitor when you apply the filter. It is also a stylistic decision as the motion is not full – this may or may not be desired.

To get full resolution with de- interlacing duplicate the clip on top – so same clip on V1 and V2 – then add shift fields +1 to one and shift fields -1 to the other with a 50% opacity on the top clip.

For this reason – too much work for this technique and wanting to deliver a Digibeta of the film for broadcast – we decided not to de-interlace. Which leaves us with my original post – how to de-interlace with text looking good.

Michael, thanks have been doing some experiments with RE:Visions field kit and it looks great. Thanks for the tip though!

Cheers,
Jon

Thanks Michael.

I suppose I could put the Text on V4 say (would I have to do this for graphics as well?), then nest video in a interlaced video sequence, de-interlace and change the original sequence to a de-interlaced one.

Only thing is that I’ve got different field orders – upper,lower and none…if I remember properly – de-interlacing effects the progressive footage and gives it jaggies.

Unless anyone has got a failsafe compressor setting, I might have to get fieldskit.

Thanks,
Jon.

Funny, I think the irony is that the film has been edited before…and was perfected fine.

[Simon Ubsdell] “How about making all your audio into a single compund clip and adding a limiter to that? Or have you thought of that?”

I’d rather have a roles mixer with inserts or master bus to do this like Pro Tools.

You can also use a FCPX ‘Adjustment layer’

See:

Please note there are still problems with clamping of luminance highlights just as in FCP7.

The Grading Sweet had a free broadcast safe filter that worked on sub RGB levels as well – but they haven’t bought out a FCPX filter yet.
