Hi Shaon,
Try just a little bit of Gaussian Blur to the text.

Hi again,
I’m not an engineer, but from 1985 y worked with all the analog formats in the market (except 2″) and few digital too.
NTSC is basically a B&W system improved. PAL is an improved NTSC, and HD is just the evolution of the older systems.
Some people relates HD to digital. HD exist since more than 20 years ago. in 1985 I’ve been in a seminar about HD in the IBC in London, and them they were already few systems ready to work, but not a market yet.
In the evolution of the standards in TV has been equally important the technical consideration than the economics. The rise of the Beta-cam wasn’t due to give a better quality than the older standards (Beta-cam doesn’t reach the quality of the !’B or 1″C), but due to the fact that the equipment were cheaper, lighter and the footage easier to store. Also from the technical point of view brought two advantages, first to get rid of the “Color Framing issue” (working in composite analog video you can’t always set the edit points where you wanted). And the second is to manage the color information separated from the luminance (so you had not need to filter the signal to extract the components and manipulate them).
HD is a bigger building, but made with the same bricks and cement than the SD.The revolution hasn’t be in the standards. The revolution has been in the tool. DIGITAL. The think that has made possible that for few thousands of dollars you can make a film that not long ago would have cost you few hundred of thousands.
Went I started to learnt video, although I was living in Europe, I had to learn the NTSC system before to studying the PAL, because if you don’t understand the first, you can not understand the second. With the HD it’s happens the same.
So my in my humble advise, for the people that doesn’t have a basic knowledge of what is the “video signal”, to spend few hours to try to understand them would be highly useful. How can we talk al day long about codification and de-codification, if we don’t really understand what we are codifying . And don’t get scare, I swear that is easier to understand the whole of the NTSC and PAL systems, that a single page about digital compression.

I think nobody see strange 16×9 for advertising glamourous items, travels, Visa cards etc. But for detergents and other kind of stuff..

Hi,
I have a BM and work in PAL. When I work in a 10b (Up-first in PAL) sequence and I bring DV (Low-first) the video cards correct the fields order. But the problem is that FC try to do the same (by applying a Shift-fields filter) and the final result is that the field order is wrong again. You must uncheck the filter applied to you clips and when rendering its looks OK.
May be happens the same with the AJA.

Truth. Many TV stations do not accept annamorphic, because they know they risk to broadcat it unproperly. So to avoid problems they preffer you just to stick your beautyful 16×9 on top of a 4×3 black.

Hi Steve,
If your footage is 10b should be Upper-first, if you are PAL, and Lower if NTSC (this if had been properly captured).
So just open a sequene with the same parameters of your footage.
You could start to letter-boxing from the beguining (just laying annamorphic clips in a 4×3 sequence), but then you got not chance of RT because all the time line have to be rendered,
I think the best is to edit 16×9. When you are ready to export you can letterboxing by changing the aspect of the sequence(in the Settins), and them the aspect of the images already on the time-line (in the motion tab). And eaven easyer if you open a new 4×3 sequence and drag and drop the 16×9 sequence inside.

When you open any of the text generatosr (the of FC, or the Boris, for example) you get all the fonts that are installed in your computer and in your user folder. You can not install fonts only for Fc. They are shared for all the applications.

Confusionnnnnn..
What ever you can watch in a normal TV set, is PAL, NTSC or SECAM in any of their variations. The signal you get from your DVD player, that you plug in your TV, is PAL or NTSC. The Video Out (componet or compoite)you get from your camera are PAL or NTSC. PAL and NTSC do not exist? Wat a joke.
There are not any SECAM preset in any programa, because SECAM is a format for broadcasting only. You can not post-produce in SECAM, because the colur is “sequential” (the color component are modulated one after the other. In the countryes that SECAM is used (France, Russia..), all the production is done in PAL. SECAM exist only when the progarmm is aired.
As I said before, I think many people should put theirs feets in the ground and learnt about VIDEO. We still have a lot of years of PAL and NTSC in front of us.

FC should accept all thefonts that you have installed in the main Library and in your User library.
