What are you asking for help with? Just remove ‘flip=1’ from your url and it’ll work fine.

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the help… So my sequence is currently 1440×1080, whats the best setting I can use to export this 4:3 for my client? Should I export it first and then scale everything inside a new 4:3 sequence, or just drop it all straight in? What will keep the highest level of quality?

Hey Dino,

Thanks for the help. Letterboxing is the way I would prefer… What would be the best way to go about it?

Thats incredibly helpful, thank you. I’ll search around for more info as suggested, any additional advice would be wonderful.

Thanks Walter.

If I went with a Blackmagic over AJA Kona, am I getting a better, worse or just different piece of hardware to do the same job? If im going to upgrade, I would rather spend a little more for a better product that’ll do more and last longer, would it be worth getting a Blackmagic Multibridge over anything else? Any help would be appreciated, obviously I can’t test the gear first, hence so many questions!

Best,

Marcus

Thanks again for the help guys, I ended up capturing through my Canon HV30 and it worked great. The Sony deck played the footage but never began capturing, not sure if anyone knows why that may be?

Also, is there no way to log the footage before-hand? Going through a whole tape of captured footage and dumping seems much more time-consuming?

Thanks again,

Marcus

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help. Everything you said is what I thought before posting the topic, however when I try to capture with the settings discussed, the deck begins to play and the playback just shows ‘Cueing tape’ with a black screen. I understand there’s potential lag on the display, but I dont even get a percentage of what the lag will be or any playback… Any ideas?

As for capture cards, should I be getting one anyway? I’m about to upgrade my system but having trouble finding the best advice on what kind of set up to go for.

Thanks again,

Marcus

Hi Shane,

Thanks for that, I did search online already and read this article, though Chris has AJA Kona selected in the sequence preset. This is gear I dont have, can I capture ProRes 422 without it?

Its a music video, the footage is taken from camera’s that were rolling whilst an album was being made and has been edited along to the mastered single.
