Thanks for the tip. I have to agree with you there. That’s an editor peeve of mine. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to tell camera people to leave post roll at the end of tape, or to give a few seconds before and after takes. Of course I’m not usually on the set to smack their knuckles with a BNC cable.

It still seems silly the FCP would let there be that much missing footage between takes. I have to wonder if that is a JVC problem?

I’ve also worked with a Sony Z1U and the HVR-M25 in the HDV 1080i60 codec with no problems. Hmmmm.

Thanks,
Matt

Ah ha! Thanks so much. That makes sense. Time to start penny pinching again.

You can see the shift on both the computer monitor and NTSC monitor. The animations are done in AE, rendered at best settings lower field first as quicktime moveis with the DV-NTSC codec. I far as I know I’m doing everything correct technically. I’ve even tried rendering no field and the problem still occurs. If I get a chance I’ll try to put up a still frame from the frame before the 1st transition and the frame when the transition begins…maybe it will better illustrate. I’ll post later with a link.

Thanks
Matt

No luck. I have the center point set at x=0, and y=55 . I changed the y to 54 and 52 and I still have the same result. It does look like a field shift, but the picture seems to enlarge just a hair.

Thanks,
Matt
