There are plug-ins that could help you with this depending on your budget and how badly you need this look.

A bit pricey but the effect is probably easier created this way than by spending hours trying to manually shift elements.

You could add a timewarp to the clip and speed it up 200%. There’s probably another way but that seem like the quickest.

Just for fun, have you tried switching to Upper Field? Same results? Animation for lossless is great, H264 is a great codec in general. I doubt the problem lies with the codec. Did you try running it through Compressor before DVDSP4? Could also be a problem with the encoding process to MPEG2 – If the encoder was expecting Upper Field and you fed it Lower.
Just throwin’ out ideas and seeing what sticks.

Hey Nate,
No need to feel foolish. Most of the time the button we need is right there – there’s just too many buttons.You could try to find a color correction tool under tools>effect palette and see if there’s a color correction tool to be used.
Best of luck,

In the main window find (bins, settings, etc…). Select the Settings Tab>Double Click “General” and you can change the starting timecode of the project.
I’m not as familiar with Xpress as I am with Adrenaline – so I’m unsure of the answer to the second part of your question.

Some of the commercial in the example you used IS using stop motion. If that’s the specific look you’re trying to achieve, you could use AE with Cinelook plugin. You can achieve most any film look you might desire (scratches included). You’ll need to add a vignette mask that pulses and possibly some strobe.
You can probably create the vignette, color-correction and strobing in Avid but the filmlook is not something Avid has and you’d need to find the appropriate plug-in for Avid. The strobing can be done by adding a timewarp effect.
Good luck,

You need to turn transparency on before you export (at the bottom of the viewer – the little checkerboard icon) and be sure to export with Alpha.

Seem like you need at least two things to make this believable.
1. A change in depth of field as you character keeps moving away from the background.
2. Stuff passing by in the background as you truck with you actor (depth of field will change on these objects as well as they move into the background.

There are several things that make a good VO work. First the talent, Second the microphone, Third the accoustics of the room. Put you talent in as small a space as possible with sound proofing (if you’re really tight for budget, collect as many egg holders (yes, the kind the AA eggs come in – preferrably the paper kind not styrofoam)) and place them all over the walls. This will deaden the sound to approximate a sound booth.
Then run with trying to compress the audio and EQ it to fit your needs.
Good luck,

I believe that AVID will be at NAB but not on the show floor. So AVID will have a presence just not in a formal fashion.
