Thanks for everyone’s suggestions.

I have converted some of it with Compressor. The frame blending is excellent but it has darkened the image somewhat, does anyone know why this could be? It does also take absolutely AGES. 22 minutes of clips literally took 4 days to convert and I’ve another hour of stuff to do. Compressor is currently telling me that’ll take 1444 hours!! I’m sure it’s getting confused but still……

I also tried transcoding and converting within Avid MC. The results are terrible. They give a very unnatural feeling clip with lots of ghosting.

I’ve never tried Cinema Tools. Does anyone think that will be faster? (It can’t be slower surely!!) Will it frame blend or will it result in the clips playing faster to make up the the frame diff. I don’t think I’ll be able to use a speeded up clip as I’m cutting a 3 camera shoot.

Any suggestions, gratefully received.

Tahnks,

Steve

Thanks for the reply Eric.

Sorry, I don’t really understand what you mean by ‘uncompressed OT lossy codec.’

I can output at ProRes. Just the normal one or the HQ version do you think? What about the VBR?

Thanks a lot,

Steve

Thank you very much Alex. I’ll check it out.

It does help. Thanks a lot. I knew there would be a reasonable solution.

Thank you. That’s really useful info.

Thank you, it looks like the undo is the way to go. It seems crazy to me as solo-ing a track isn’t an edit. If you had several layers of video you would need to do this all the time and it seems you are in danger of losing the render.

Oh well, thank you very much for the info…….

[Steve Ralston]

Thanks for the reply. OK, so how do I view V1 without losing the render?

Thanks,

Thank you. I hadn’t realised what I was looking for was labelled ‘centre.’

Thanks again,

Great. Thank you very much.

It is 1920 x 1080. That was just a typo!
