Hi Pavel. You may be right, but since the problem disappeared after head cleaning, I would say a dirty head is more likely as the cause.

Hi Peter. The clips were already on my hard drive, as I had previously used them in a Edius project.

For this test, it was a straight Premiere CS3 project with HDV 25p settings. I don't have any...

Hi Ken. I don't see the Letterbox/Crop to Size setting in my version of Vdub, but I don't think you should be setting anything that says letterbox.

Alternatively, are you setting up a 16:9 project...

Hi Denis. Looks like a dirty head to me. What brand of tape do you normally use? As Cynthia says, switching brands can cause head clogging problems.

Hi Peter. I just tested this with 40 m2t files from the MRC1, and they all imported OK into Premiere CS3, audio and all.

Hi Ryan. Most you can do is set normal gamma rather than cine, and adjust exposure to bring up the subject until the background is as blown out as you can take.

If you don't have lights with you,...

Hi Alex. If you shoot HDV then one option is to capture as HDV format m2t files via firewire. This is a digital copy from the tape so there should be no degradation at that point (compared with what...

I agree with Tripp. It only makes sense to use HDMI if you are doing a tethered capture and bypassing the HDV tape compression. If you are capturing from tape you should use FW.

Auto focus has always been unreliable when lighting is poor, or when the subject lacks features (e.g. a flat wall). If you have to shoot in these conditions it is much better to use manual focus.

I have a Waves plugin bundle I bought a few years back. They are very good, but yes a bit expensive compared to the competition. Still using them though so I suppose I'm getting my money's worth.

Hi Steve. Try setting the project deinterlace type to Interpolate or Blend Fields, rather than None. I know this is counter-intuitive but it can make a difference with progressive footage.

Hi Terry. As far as I know, Cine mode only affects the exposure, gamma and colour matrix, not the frame rate. It is 24P that is the real problem I think.
