Blue Screen vs Green Screen - "Perry Mitchell" From: Jeff Schell I once heard that for chromakeying at the DV level, black is a good choice because DV carried more black info than color info. I'm not up to date on the latest terminology. Can anybody verify this? (PS- I'm aware of the implications of using a black background against black hair, black clothes, etc, and I realize for that reason that it might not be the best choice. But from a compression standpoint of the DV spec, how would it rate vs. blue or green?) DV to DVD - Best Encoder Choice - "Perry Mitchell" From: Dan Porvin Hello. I need to encode 2 Hours 20 Minutes of DV footage for a DVD. I have available the following: MAC - Quicktime and Cleaner 6, PC - Matrox RT2K, Reel DVD, Cleaner 6 and Roxio DVD Creator. Which will give the best looking video if I encode at ~4 - 4.5 Bitrate?

They are supposed to do a short film of how they see the future. The project is called Visions of the Future and each will be 12 minuets in length when completed. She will start shooting in mid-July in Southern France for one week. I told her on the telephone about your new DVD Camera and that this would be perfect for this type of film. The AJ-SDX900 is not a DVD camcorder, but rather a DVCPRO50 camcorder. >What do you think and who can I contact so that their might be a possibly of using a protype for this special project? I would not consider giving out a prototype as it is a prototype, that does not guarantee a problem free shoot. I might consider a working camera, but there are some rules and no promises. I would need to see a full spec on the job, from treatment to script, production plan, funding sources, staff bios, etc. The number of offers that we are getting to do just this are more than we can accommodate and so to pick the ones that we can support, we need more information and quantification of the shoot. You may contact me off-line for more info.

But I've been struggling with this problem and nobody can give me a straight answer. I shoot PAL, edit in PAL but I've some clients in NTSC land. If I make a DVD or a VCD or even a QT movie on a CD, can everybody in the world play it back? As film cameraman I understand about 24, 25 and 29.97 and the various lines etc, but if they can play my stuff, why do we have to transfer PAL to NTSC and vice-versa? Also, as more and more TV's are of the TFT or LCD or Plasma kind, flicker is, so to say, moot. I can even shoot video or film directly from such screens without getting any flicker, PAL or NTSC. And will it play in SECAM land? Good grief indeed! PAL vs. NTSC (was: Audio from cassette..Good Grief...) - "Perry Mitchell" From: Robert Rouveroy And will it play in SECAM land? PAL vs. NTSC (was: Audio from cassette..Good Grief...) - "Perry Mitchell" From: Robert Rouveroy The questions weren't so hard. The explanations were! What I'm after is this: you say unequivocally that DVD's and other video carriers made in PAL country have to be translated first to NTSC to be seen in America etc. How is this done, considering the following parameters: edited material from PAL DV on ,say, iMovie or FCP or FCE. after editing, one can record back to NTSC. And burn to VCD that are totally accepted in the US. But, VCD PAL versions are just as accepted. And American movies are shown on our region-free PAL DVD players. And European DVD movies, presumably in PAL, can be shown in the States? Also, how come that QT and for that matter, WMP is easily exchangeable all overe the world. This is very confusing. Through Rose Tinted Glasses? - "Perry Mitchell" From: Mike I'm editing some wedding footage I shot for some friends (not something I usually do, but I got talked into it). The footage itself turned out great, but is almost too good. The video is very sharp and clean but they're looking for a softer more "romantic" look. I sort of know what they mean, but I've no idea on the best way to go about getting there. Can anyone help me out with some suggestions. I'm editing in Premier 6.5 (and no, I can't switch to Vegas, Richard :-) (diese posts stammen von der DV-L Mailingliste - THX to Adam Wilt and Perry Mitchell :-) [up] |
