I understand that I shouldn’t trust the computer moniter. But it’s a mac book pro and it should be and HD moniter. The image looks amazing on my moniter when I shoot on dvcprohd . But when I shoot the same footage on a avc intra codec it looks horrible.. And I’ve edited a commercial for butterfinger for a contest they just had. it was shot in 1080 p and I thought maybe it’s just my moniter. But it’s not because when I export the project it has no quality even after watching it on tv. The avc intra footage is transcoded to prores. Which everyone is talking about how great it looks. How come it doesn’t look good on my computer? And the thing is when I open the log and tranfer window , when the footage is dvcprohd the preview shows the footage and it looks awsome even before I transcod it or drop it in the timeline. When the footage is avc intra 100 the preview is really grainy and looks horrible compared the the other one…
i have shot some footage on avc intra 100 at 1080 24pn and in dvc pro hd at 720 24pn. for some reason the avc intra looks Horrible! so much grain and no detail at all. and the dvc pro sot at 720 looks like HD.. do you have any ideas? the only reason i got the hpx 300 was to shoot in avc intra at 1080 p .
