September 15, 2009 at 1:47 pm in reply to: best settings in compressor for HD to SD

Dear Neil,
Thanks for the input. But I’m not working in PAL or HDV.
The project is 1080i ProRes 422.
I was looking for suggestions for settings in Compressor. In particular the GOP settings.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

Yeah…
There are some nice “how tos” on line using poly vinyl alcohol and borax (clear slime) or elmers glue and borax (white slime)..
I’ll probably investigate these as well.
Thanks again!

Thanks Mike,
This just might work with some image tweaking.
I did indeed try to to use dog slobber, but somehow it just doesn’t have the right clarity or definition to read, especially in flight.
Again thanks and best,
Paul

Thanks Bogie!
I am creating character animation from multilayered psd files imported as comps. Alas, I have no other choice than to use filters to create the stereo pairs. Unless you can think of another alternative.
Again thanks and best.

Dave
THANKS!
I didn’t even think to take a look at the effects panel.
Now I just have to get me a pair of red/blue glasses and wow that client!
Best,

August 13, 2008 at 4:46 pm in reply to: Conversion 1080i to 720p (europe)

I luckily have a KONA 3 card (yeah AJA)… but the media I ingest is either from a P2 card or on an SD card (AVC HD) not tape. So the question is; how do I set things up to convert 1080i to 720p using media ingested from these sources?

Thanks,

So my intuition was correct. 8 bit uncompressed it is!
Thanks for help.

It’s the Canon HJ17ex7.6B-IRSE e-HDxs 17x 2/3″ ENG High Definition Wide Angle Lens, with 2x Extender.
I tried the bundled Canon CAC lens that was offered with the camera… just didn’t cut it.
This one lists for about 19K… I got it for a tick under 17.
B&H has it for 17.5K.

Thanks

Nate,
Yikes! Bad news! Indeed the dreaded green cast is there.
I rarely use the presets. Usually I white balance with a card to get the advantage of shooting in real prevailing conditions
rather than the presets.
Hmmm now I have to decide whether I want to send the camera out for the fix or live with it.
I’ll think it over.
Actually I usually shoot a tad warmer outside, about 4900K, makes those skies just little bluer than 5600.
Other than that I love this camera, with the caveat of having invested in really good glass. My lens costs almost twice as much as the camera itself. But it’s worth it.
Good luck w/your 500.
Best,
Paul
