It seems that i have fixed the problem.

The origin of it was that the “high quality” under the real time menu was not on, but set to dynamic.

the problem was i couldn’t set it to high quality, because high quality was greyed out.

after searching the forum someone suggested looking at what ram you have, and this was the problem.

FCP needs all matching ram i guess to operate properly. I had 2 pairs of 2gig ram, and 2 pairs of 1 gig ram. i know have 4 pairs of 2 gig ram and it is running fine.

no more aliasing.

thanks!

The benefit of pro rez over HDV is that it is not a long gop (group of pictures) format. HDV bundles frames together, that is why it has such a low data rate and takes up little room.

in your circumstance it doesn’t make much sense to edit your “offline” cut in pro rez. The data rate and file size is probably too big to run off a firewire drive.

However, if you plan on doing a color correct and laying your show off to tape, you will most certainly want to “re-compress” your show in the media manager to pro rez as doing any print to video/edit to tape with HDV causes FCP to have to “compile” all the frames, and this is an exhausting process.

sumation:

1. capture and work in HDV codec
2. finish in pro-rez

I don’t know if this is the ultimate solution, but i have had similar problems with pro rez renders. sometimes if i change the rendering from 10-bit to 8-bit it solves these phantom glitches.

Yes i have a monitor. I am going out to two monitors through my kona card:

1. panasonic 37 inch HD plasma via component out.
2. 17 inch multiformat professional HD CRT monitor (sony?)

it looks aliased on both monitors, and also after i lay off to tape, i played the tape back and it had the aliasing on the tape as well.

Thanks,

Josh
