Sorry about the screw-ups in my post. I meant HDV recorded with the JVC GY-HD100.

I recorded some test footage using the regular ProRes setup and it said it only took up about 15 percent more space than DVCProHD so, if I decide to stay at high quality, I think I’ll just go with ProRes.

I’m curious about the workflow that involves capturing native hdv through the firewire and then rendering in ProRes. I really want to capture with my LHe card because I can monitor it on my big screen as I go. I haven’t, however, found any info about an offline/online solution that makes use of my Aja capture card.

Sorry about all the confusion here.

Hi Shane-

I’m having a ton of synch issues in the 1080 24 sequence. Any idea what could be causing this. Thanks again!

Thanks for the suggestions. Assuming I drop it into a sequence that matches what I need to output how do I conform the size? Do I just manually resize in the 1080i window? Also, the 59.94 frame rate seems to be causing problems in this regard. There doesn’t seem to be a sequence setting that accomodates this frame rate in the 1080i environment.

Thanks,
Quinn

Thanks all-

This seems to make sense. When I set my bars to -20 the levels seem fine on the Beta deck. What about mastering to my DVCam deck, though. When I set my bars to -12 on that deck everything looks fine. Should I use -12 as the level on that deck? Much thanks.

Thanks Shane-

That’s a helpful video. However, we won’t know what editorial choices we’ll be using until after we’ve worked with the clips in the timeline. What is the best choice for capturing footage into the project assuming that we’ll be exporting via reference files later on in the project? Thanks again.

Thank you for the reply. I don’t know that this would necessarily accomodate our system restrictions inre: to the fact that we’re editing offline on a G4 using Lacie firewire drives. How about capturing to the DV/NTSC 720 codec and then re-digitizing later on a G5 with a Raid Array. We’ll be doing our color correction, audio mixing and graphics/titles tweaking during the online. Thanks.

Thanks to everybody for the great advice!

Thanks for the advice, Jim. I appreciate it. How does one go about telling the installer to use the settings for the other disk? Also, will I have to reinstall all my apps? Will the computer still recognize my M100 hardware? Thanks again.

Hi Floh-

I tried it again with 720X486 footage using the crop feature and still got incredibly blotchy, ugly colors and weird pixelization. While using the reference video from the 720*486 footage the only preference I have selected is Use Studio RGB. I’ve tried it with both field settings although I know with 720 it should be bottom field. Same ugly results. I’m hesitant to fix the problem in AfterEffects because the whole reason I bought BitVice was because it can deal with reference video. At this point it hasn’t produced a single DVD that comes even close to satisfactory. Anything I might be missing?

Thanks Floh-

You’re the king.
