I understand. I think my dry ‘sense of humour’ doesn’t come across online! Apologies for that.

I would definitely use color key for any additional areas that do not come in contact but unfortunately, this area has a cafe table and people sat in front. So would need to be quite a good chromakeyer.

Thanks for your response.

Despite still having to transcode the 5D footage to match the EX1 when I shoot at 29.97fps, can I assume that as the frame rates are so close, there won’t be as much effect on the footage as there has been reducing it to 25fps? Making this option much better?

I’m currently running FCP version 6.0.5

I understand that by removing field dominance, and then deinterlacing my footage I’m removing half the video information, which is why its stuttering, because I’m slowing down 25 frames a second, which shouldn’t really be slowed down, because its not true slow mo…or at least that’s what I think is happening. So is there no way I can integrate motion graphics with my DV Cam footage for an exported video for web?

Hi, thanks for your response! Mop board – thats a new one. I’ve not heard of it before!

I’ve a slow forward tracking shot, so a blurred mask is quite difficult to use because firstly, you’re right, it looks fake, but also because the perspective changes so much as it goes past the camera. I even tried raising the levels up to get rid of the darker patches but that didn’t really help.

I guess a sensible solution would have been to shoot with a clean skirting board!! Thats the problem with being an editor, because you receive footage and wonder, what the hell were they thinking?!

But what if the point is in the shot but is growing in size because the camera is getting closer?

And if I’m using DV-PAL?

Well the mic doesn’t have anything to do with it because even with it unplugged you could hear a hiss when I turned the levels up. With the ATT turned on and off there is hiss. Albeit there is less when its on, but still surely there should be no hiss when nothing is plugged in?
