Question For Matt Smith
Page 41 of Showreel, bottom of the first column, combining footage with opposite Field Orders, what was your verdict? especially as you used Ulead Media Studio Pro & the HDV plug in 2.
I think I worked it out but would be interested in your take, I did my own comparison test a couple of weeks ago with my FX1 & mini-dv.Matt's email
"To my knowledge and from the tests I did there isn't a problem with the field orders. I sat and worked the whole shebang out and basically if you want to correct this yourself you just have to shift one of the pieces of video up one pixel and duplicate the line you lost at one end. However after I had worked out how simple it was I tested the process without doing anything and it worked anyway so I can only surmise the software sorts it out. The other factor is that in blowing the DV footage up 200% to match scale you are actually completely changing the field system anyway. Again the software seems to sort this out for you. I certainly didn't have any problems. Of course others may know different, I just know it looked fine."My reply
Hi Matt
In my limited tests I have gone for Frame (No Fields) using MS Pro 7, HDV Plugin 2
However until I test some sport or fast moving footage I'm not sure If I cracked it re: any jerkiness.
btw I am doing the opposite to you, My HDV footage is currently been converted to SDV footage on the final render, I intend to use the FX1 as the wide shot cam on stage plays & zoom in up to 4:1 on any parts I miss with my 2 MiniDV's.
My first couple of tests seem to have worked OKMatt's 2nd email
None of my footage had fast horizontal movement so I may have been
lucky there.
Cheers
Matt
Any takers for the correct way, I may even have to film a football match to work it out for myself ;)
