David, Thanks. I am working with mini DV (to answer Matte’s question). I have the Sony GVD300 deck. (I have had it for a bunch of years now.) This is an art project that I am doing on my own and currently the budget is pretty snug. I want to see what I can do with the equipment I have. However, should I want to go further, are any of the decks you mentioned for this format?
So to the task at hand: I chose a clip with drop out. I disconnected it. Now what step(s) do I take to capture it again?
-
Well, I did get to this tonight. It didn’t work for me. I marked the clip, dragged it to the browser and made it independent. The markers were there as the instructions predicted, but when I selected them and control-clicked, the only option was to edit the marker (the name, etc.). Batch export was not available through “edit” either. Maybe it’s because I am working in 4.5. What a disappointment.

Rennie, Forgive me for taking two months to thank you for the post. I have been sorely waylaid on this project. Anyway, the thread is a little high tech for me, but I will refer back to it as I continue to dig deeper into this project. Thanks again.

Alan, This sounds like a super interesting way to export a bunch of stills to make my storyboard. Things have been such that I still haven’t had time to try this. I keep waiting to write a thank you till I actually try it, but since yet again I am sitting down to work on this project and still haven’t gotten to this, I wanted to write a big thank you in advance.

Thanks Kevin. Full disclosure: I was asking on behalf of a friend working in FCP3. He tried what you suggested but it didn’t work. He found some work around (I don’t know what it was). Thanks again for you help.

Thanks Walter. You would have to see how I work with my footage to see why I need to do this. For what I am doing, storyboarding will save me time in the long run.

Thanks Rich and Dave. So the DV codec scans the lower field first, so when I de-interlace and tell it lower field first, it de-interlaces in that order and I get the frame image as it was captured. (I find it helpful to learn the “Why” behind the “What”.)
-
Rich, what do you mean “almost every full frame video codec is lower field”? I don’t have to understand this to do it correctly, I ask to safisfy my inner geek.

Thanks Matte. I’ll probably make a dub with the time code close but not matched. I may check out what it would cost to have it professionally done. It is one hour of DV. I have no idea what it would cost. If I go that route I will make a clone of my own without timecode first.

John, Thanks. I am interested. But help me out here, is Compressor a codec, an application, a plug in?
