Hey your instructions worked like a dream!!!! I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to help out a stranger!!

Any advice on improving flicker in slowed film? Just deinterlace or apply antiflicker? I’m thinking it’s something one just has to deal with when using lower quality dv camera?

Thanks you rock!!

I’ll try that …i’ll my footage is outside so people are right that it’s hard to find one that would work with all. I just want something very subtle making the whole film uniform.

someone made mention of reducing my ntsc 29 frames to pal 24 to get a smoother look, is this true or possible??

Any magic bullet come to mind that very lightly brings out more greens and makes things more vivid say as if you used an orange type filter (which I didn’t on the camera haha). I liked the MB bloom.

That sounds really encouraging! I did read about 2.0 being faster so that was why I was going to try and get it. Special mood scenes aside, is there any particular movie look the magic bullet provides that you find works the best all around???

thanks – stefan

I just want a more uniform appearance. I’m making a mountain bike video, which means many sections are set faster, slower and even reverse. IN the intro for example, I have clouds and chairlifts moving at 8000 times faster. What happens is that you get clear home video look on all clips that have not been manipulated and then suddenly when the footage is slowed “and quality is reduced” it loses this clear look. It’s annoying to look at. I would rather have it all more grainy and uniform. That’s what I assume they do in professional video as well. In otherwords, if the final product looked the way it does on the computer screen during editing on dvd then I would be happy(It as a more grainy uniform look but reverts back to what I explained once burned and played on regular tv)

I’ve been reading about magic bullet movie looks. It seems to have the respect of many editors. Whats your opinion on movie looks 2.0, please respond.

Under the project settings/video rendering tabs, the compressor just says DV(NTSC). I cannot hit the configure button next to it to select another codec.

Premiere Pro help says:
Note: If you use a clip in your video program without applying effects or changing frame or time characteristics, Adobe Premiere Pro uses the clip’s original codec for playback. If you make changes that require recalculation of each frame, Adobe Premiere Pro applies the codec that you choose here.

Preset:
NTSC progressive 4×3 high Quality 7mb CBR 1 Pass ( I did it at 4mb too)
Comment high quality, CBR transcoding of Progressive frame content.

video Summary:

Codec: MainConcept MPEG Video

Quality: 5.0 (high quality)
TV Standard: NTSC
Frame Rate: 29.97 drop Frame
Field Order: None (progressive)
Aspect RAtio 4:3

Do you see any problems? You mentioned the video quality being uncompressed yet low quality. What does this 3.6mbs mean?

Thanks for all your help!!!!
