I realize that it’s possible that no one will ever see this, and that I may be only responding to myself, but I believe that if a man posts in a forum and no one is there to see it, he, in fact, as still posted, if only for himself to see.

Perhaps this is some pedagogical trick, to help a man help himself. That works for me too.

So,

What about JSE Deinterlacer? I’ve heard good things about it. Will it also make the resulting files mammoth? If not, with there be a quality loss?

Thanks!

Hi, again

I found this answer to someone else’s similar question, here:
https://rebelsguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4349&sid=e2c1b431b1699ce48c3b758edf9e4b3a

“My suggestion is to create a 60i project in FCP and capture the footage.
Then export all the footage to compressor and create 24p footage in ProRes (do not scale)
Then create a new 24p project in FCP do do the actual editing.

This is not entirely elegant, but editing in 24p footage in a 60i project is not that safe.
You can actually make a cut halfway through a frame, change the cadence of the pulldown.
When your edit is finished, you might find that an automated process might not be able to extract a 24p cleanly.

So a better workflow would be.
Capture -> ReverseTelecine -> Edit”

This is very helpful, but I have 250 gigs of footage now, many files of which are 5-12 gigs large. IF everything will quadruple, it may be unmanageable, unless I chop it up I suppose.

Do you recommend?

Thanks again,

Louis

I found the info I referred to, regarding doing the pulldown removal After editing:

“…If you want to remove pulldown after your done editing, JSE Deinterlacer is truly wonderful and a breeze to use. I recently edited a piece that was shot on an HV20, where the final output was 24p. I just saved the pulldown removal for the final step before delivery to prevent having to have duplicates of all the footage taking up space….”

Thanks.

I hope I’m in the right forum thread,

Hi, Jeremy and Tom
I’ve tested running my HV20 PF24 footage through Compressor, and see that the files are 4 to 5 times larger when finished. I saw on other sites that this is normal.
But then I read somewhere (I can’t recall where) that someone, to save disk space, did his editing first, and THEN ran the completed footage through Compressor, after editing in FCP.
Is this wise?
I have 22 hours of footage. If this would work, it would obviously save me a lot of disk space and time. But I of course don’t want to the above and discover afterward that I screwed it all up.
Any suggestions would be great.
I’m doing this all for the first time.
Best,
Louis
