Hi everyone
I've done a 3 camera wedding video. When i created the dvds there was judder on the footage. After a bit of exploring I've come to the conclusion that field dominance is the problem. As I've only really edited in dv before its not something i've never had an issue with this before so my knowledge of this subject is fairly superficial.
The footage is hdv and avchd 50i I used pro-res setting both for importing and sequence and export the final footage as dv widescreen. I am editing on a quad core i5 imac. Now that I have looked into it I have found that both the imported clips and the sequence ( and thus final footage) has upper dominance and from what i have learnt I need the final footage in lower dominance.
From the exploring i have done so far i believe there 2 methods for correcting this I change change the general sequence settings or i can use the shift fields filter on all the clips in the filter. I was hoping that someone could confirm this or correct me if i'm wrong and tell me if there is any preference between the two.
Also a question related to the above - one of the camera operators had a nd filter on which due to the dark location meant very grainy footage which i've had to put through the neat video plugin (very time intensive) thus i know that whatever i do will lead to a very slow process. I was wondering could I just import the dv footage for the dvd back into fcp and change the field dominance as this i would imagine would speed up the process massively or am i in my ignorant state missing something obvious.
One final question if i was working with avchd and hdv 50i again would i change both the sequence and import settings to solve the problem or is it just the sequence setting?
Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help me, you have all been so knowledgable and helpful during my video making education.
Thanks again
