From HDV 1080i to NTSC Broadcast
2 Attachment(s)
Hello All,
I am editing 2 :30 PSAs that were filmed with the Sony Z7U in HDV and wanted your tips on an HDV to NTSC Broadcast workflow? After using Log and Transfer to import the footage, here are the movie specs (viewed in Quicktime's Movie Inspector): Format: Apple HDV 1080i60, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millions 16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Left, 48.000 kHz 16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Right, 48.000 kHz FPS: 29.97 Data Rate: 26.64 mbits / s Normal Size: 1888 x 1062 -- Now, when I drop it into FCP and it auto-adjusts the sequence, here are the settings that FCP gives me: Frame Size: 1440 x 1080 Aspect Ratio: HD (1440x1080) (16:9) Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1440x1080) [Anamorphic 16:9 UNCHECKED] Field Dominance: Upper (Odd) Editing Timebase: 29.97 Quicktime Video Settings Compressor: HDV 1080i60 Quality 100% Audio 48kHz 16-bit Channel Grouped. -- So what's the best way to make this look good on a Digibeta? Anybody have this workflow experience? Much appreciated, John |
What's up?
Has nobody gone from HDV to NTSC Broadcast before?
I'm using FCP 6.0.4 , is it safe to say a downconvert to DV / NTSC will make this footage acceptable for broadcast (after a good C.C. , of course) ? Thanks, John |
Use Compressor or take the entire finished sequence and drop it into a new NTSC SD sequence and render. That's what I have done and the results were satisfactory for me and the client however we were using the DV codec. The question is how are you getting the finished render onto DigiBeta?

Hey
Thanks, William.
My best guess is to down convert to a standard NTSC, uncompressed quicktime, drop it in a new sequence and hope it can output successfully to Digibeta... I'm still working on it. Thanks! John |
