Yup, makes sense. Will try that one!
Another Q:
Which of those 3 will do the Best upscaling?After Effects CC (new detailed upscale plug in)
Compressor with Frame Controls On
or
DaVinci’s internal Scale Algorithms?Sascha Engel

Hi Nick, Hi Shane,
Funny you both answered almost identical. 😉
The upscale of the 16 Tapes is already finished: It took 15 hours.
I have a mean machine, the dark side of Hackintosh 😉
And yes, it was upscaled to 1080p since the original SD was DV-Pal Anamorphic.But now my AE guy did some tests with new AE Uprez Plugs and I must say, it looks even better than the Upscale Algorithms of Compressor.
So, I am now facing three options: Upscale in DaVinci on output of Final Graded version, Upscale with Compressor (what I did now) or with After Effects and the detail keeping plug in .

Hi Shane,
I figured since we are talking about 16 Master Tapes, it’s easier and faster to just upscale them.
The film is edited at a fast paste and it consist of more than 2000 edits, so just upscaling the master tapes is easier than each shot separately. Just eats way more storage space, but this I can handle. I have more HDs than time right now ;-).
Why you upscale it to 1440*1080?
I did it now directly to 1920*1080 square APR.
And what you mean by pan scan? Placing the image in the right place is more at hand in the other direction, HD to SD, no? Or maybe I understood you wrong.Greetings,

Hi Nick,
that was our original plan, but somehow the HD timeline with the scaled SD footage comes in twisted through the XML: DaVinci scales it again,
because it believes it’s already HD so it scales it another time 266%.Sascha

Hi Richard,
about the double re sizing: That is the thing that also came to my mind already
The SD Material was Captured through FCP and are DV-PAL QuickTime files.Greetings,

Hi,
I will check about the PAR, it’s in the Colour Studio, where I have access only tomorrow again. But I can mail you the XML.
That would be great.
THANX!Greetings,

Hi Massimo,
What do you mean?
Yes, I’m the rebuild HD timeline the aspect ratio of the clip is correct.
It also looks perfectly OK.
Only after importing the XML to DaVinci, the sizing info see,s to be messed up.
But also not in AR way, but simply by being 2-3 too big.Greetings,

10.8.4 – cause it works best with FCP 7.0.3 on a Hackintosh.
But it’s not iOS related but only inside FCP!Sascha Engel

No, physically the keys are fine. When I am inside FCP and I switch my keyboard (In the Keyboard preferences) to American English or even French German, the Delete key works. Only in Swiss German, it’s not recognised, even though it is a Swiss German Keyboard.
