Keneu Luca Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Here is a link to an FDNY video I made a little while back. Shot on 16mm. Transferred to miniDV. Not pro telecine, but one of those modified projectors with a ccd built in. Edited on FCP 4. Visit My Website When you watch the video you will notice sporadic horizontal streaks. I noticed this when I edited the footage. First I thought it was in the actual mini DV tape. But its not. Because when I would play back in the timeline, the glitches wouldnt always be in the same times or place within the footage. Well, Im editing a new project now, and its happening again. And again, its not the mini DV tape. This does not happen when I play the tape through a mini DV camera onto a regular television. So the problem is either with my FCP program, or in my computer. Im guessing its either the video card or I dont have enough memory in my comp and my comp struggles with the video. Im leaning toward memory. Also, when I speed up a clip, the frame rate percentage, it seems to happen more. Any opinions? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Wallace Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Not sure? But I'll throw out a couple guesses. Field order was set the the wrong setting (odd/even), or it was something in how you handled interlacing / de-interlacing? Oh, or 23.96 vs 24 vs 29.97 vs 30fps maybe? I liked the piece too, very cool. Edited May 23, 2008 by Steve Wallace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know how well you can see it in the FDNY video, but the problem is rather random. Same as in the project Im working on now. I'll look into your suggestions. If anyone has has anything else to offer, I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
