That SD looks pretty darn good. The shoestring looks like a rolling shutter effect to me. If it was a moire problem I think you would see it on the cats whiskers.

It doesn't show up in the original footage, but must be exacerbated in process.
|
That isn't rolling shutter; it's interlacing artifacts as a result of resizing. That, I'm one hundred percent sure of.
|
Great, Jim, just when I thought I had it.

If you can let me have a clip of the swinging thread, I will resize it for you. Important - I need the original untouched clip from the camera. A good way to do it is with Dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/ You put a file in the public folder in your Dropbox and copy the link to it and post the link. That will allow it to be downloaded by someone else. I won't be able to do it until later this evening. I am about to leave on a job.

The flash video you see looks exactly the same as the avi file for the most part.
|
What is your Vegas version? For flawless HD footage editing you should use 9 or 10.
|
I am. As Jim says I'm not resizing it properly.
I have been away all day and will play more with it tonite, or tomorrow. Jim I will send you the clip as soon as I catch my breath and get done with dinner. |
Jim, here the clip. Right click on it. http://cincinnativideo.net/PriceList/Cats/00012.MTS

Hi Jeff, Here is the resized MPEG file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8731209/0012%20resized.mpg
As you can see, it's very clean. NLE's do a bad job of resizing interlaced video. They leave some pretty bad looking interlace artifacts. I used HDLink which is part of Cineform NeoHD. It does a great job as you can see. When you look at it, you are going to have a hard time believing that it's just an SD MPEG video clip. Let me know what you think. I rendered it out of Vegas as an MPEG file AFTER I resized it with Cineform HDLink. Cineform HDLink doesn't convert to MPEG. It creates a Cineform .avi file. |

I've been offline since yesterday, glad to be back.
Thanks for the imput, everyone. Guy, you were correct, as Jim was. Jim, that is perfect, VERY nice. HD link did an amazing job. Guy recommended deinterlacing in Vegas before editing, is that enough? I've been swamped with editing, time is limited, so I haven't studied this as much as I wanted to. Virtual dub has been recommended also. I will go back and look at those posts to see what was written, as Neo HD is not in the budget at this time. Does anyone know if Virtual Dub will match the performance of HD Link for resizing? |
David, you suggested rendering out in uncompressed avi with Vegas, then resizing in Virtual Dub. Jim's workflow with HD Link is to take source footage and resize first. Wouldn't I want to do that with Virutual Dub? Just spitballing here...trying to clarify my options.
David, never mind, I've found Virtual Dub doesn't seem to work with HD files, so I would have to do as you said, render to uncompressed then resize. |
I rendered the video to uncompressed avi, three minute video was 33GB in size. Not very practical. I need to play with this some more.
