Question for you, Is the camera out of focus for long periods of time or is it on auto focus and it’s bouncing back and forth between two focus points frequently?

Also what type of project is it and do you have any other footage, (b-roll, cut aways, etc)?

The reason I ask is because I don’t know of any great solutions to out of focus camera work other than some good old fashioned creative editing. For example if the interview where for a “Behind the Music” for example you could make the footage an extreme color tint and throw in fast cuts of other scenes. You could also use the motion control to zoom in or out of the subject and really get crazy with it and make it look like it’s supposed to look like that.

On the other hand if it’s a coorporate gig where there’s no room for anything like that then you could be in a little bit of a bind.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

What I meant by “messed up” was- when I copy/paste work from a DV sequence into the HDV sequence the footage is squished in the canvas. I’m assuming it will export the same or can I adjust the canvas settings?

Also I’d tried copy and Pasting the footage and then clicking on an individual clip and selecting
