Check out “Magic Bullet Frames” plug-in. Really good deinterlace AND can give a true 24p film look. Also, you may wanna desaturate it a bit…3 way color corrector is fine for this or if you’ve got the budget, take a look at Magic Bullet Looks or Mojo from Magic Mullet (Red Giant Software). Just a couple of suggestions. Oh…btw, Compressor does a great job of deinterlacing…especially when you use frame controls and set it to progressive! “Better” is usually enough on the settings as anything higher will take days to encode 🙂

I really like the finalcutprotemplates.com packages! Inexpensive and good! They’re motion master templates and you can deconstruct them to create different things. Just my two cents.

Here’s a link for it on B&H:
Before everyone jumps all over, “it’s nothing but a consumer cam in a big body”…until you’ve used it, you have no idea! I’ve mixed it’s footage with stuff from Sony V1u and FX1000 and noone knows the difference! There’s stuff on my YouTube with footage. The mist current one…the tennis lesson…was shot entirely on that camera!

Since you have a small budget and are already using a Sony HDV camera, you should go ahead and keep things alike. FCP likes that and it will keep things simple. Not to mention that the color and things like that will match up better!
I have a Sony HVR 1000u that is around 1,300-1,500 and is a great workhorse! It also is shoulder mounted and looks impressive. Take it out and people start asking, “am I going to be on the news?”. It even has nightshot! I use it for ENG and run & gun (shoulder mount works great for that) stuff. I have more Pro cams for important stuff but I’ve even shot, posted and delivered for broadcast with it!
Something to consider anyway. You always wanna buy cameras that work well with what you have unless you can upgrade all of them or don’t mind extra work in post production to make them match up and be editable together!

I just got my T2i the other day and love it!!! Have only filmed a couple of clips and haven’t even pulled them off the cam yet but it looks like a great addition to my arsenal! Looking forward to some shallow DOF goodness among other things. Great camera for the money but very hard to find in stock right now! They sell out quickly after listed online.
