DVL-Digest 964 - Postings: Index DV squared, the Universe and everything! Interlace conundrum Premiere on Mac DV squared, the Universe and everything! - "Perry" I've just acquired a Digital Voodoo/FCP system and I'm trying it out, seeing how fast it'll motor! Now FCP is entirely new to me so I'm testing the water with a few simple projects. First up, I want to edit some material off DigiBeta and send it to DV. The capture produces Voodoo D1 files which are Upper field first (PAL) and 0-255 colorspace. Apple DV is Lower field first and 16-235 colorspace. So the question is what is the most efficient method of doing this with FCP? I know how to do it with After Effects, both the official method and the workaround to stop the picture going soggy. I guess therefore I'm pre-disposed to think it won't be a simple process. I'm talking to my new friends over at 2-pop but I thought some of you guys might be into this stuff? cheers Perry Mitchell Interlace conundrum - "Perry" OK this is kind of a funky question: I make a dub of a VHS tape (I believe they are upper field dominant.) to a mini-DV tape (lower field dominant) What happens to the interlaced frame? Which field is now dominant? When I input it into the computer to edit via fire wire. Do I choose lower field dominant in Project preferences? Does this cause any problems? How about when the material is de-interlaced? Premiere on Mac - Adam Wilt The EditDV (now CineStream) system has a very neat 'LiveDV' method of > playing previews off the timeline directly to a video monitor via Firewire > and a DV machine... I haven't used Premiere since 4.2 but AFAIK > it only supports similar functionality via a Realtime card. Premiere 6 can do this quite nicely (at least on the PC, and I can't see why the Mac wouldn't be just as good, especially as QuickTime's support for DV has been around for longer than Microsoft's). For that matter I could preview out DV using 5.1 and the DPS Spark, too, as long as I didn't mind the occassional crash whilst scrubbing (the fault of the Spark's wonky DV drivers, not of Premiere itself). > ...Fast (Purple/Silver/Blue)... Don't forget Ivory! It's OK now, but give us another ten years of format wars (IMX, microMV, D-9HD, DVCPROHD, etc.) and we'll have some real problems: FAST puce, FAST fuschia, FAST burnt umber, FAST harvest gold... > To me it is like comparing a VW and a Porche... Would that be the front Porche, or the back Porche? (Sorry, it was such an easy "setup"... don't "burst" with anger, I don't want to raise your IRE...)
