Why did this hapen, blocky 1080 footage?

[TimurCivan]

I shot 1080, for one take of a film i was workign on because i wanted to see it in HD at home. but the footage looks liek this... ???? puzzling. maybe Raylights Fault?

 

[Barry_Green]

Yeah, did you have RayLight in "yellow" mode?

 

[TimurCivan]

Nope.... Its freaky. its like this on the Card.... i just checked it on my HD tv.....

Strange.

Raylight has a red/yellow marker frame feature that lets you definitely know
(it's in the Config screen). Turn it on and restart the editor, re-render the footage.
Sometimes the NLE frame cache will get you if you switch between Yellow and Blue a lot.

That's certainly bizarre. Did you have the HVX configured to downconvert to 480 on playback (hence making it look lower-rez/blocky on the HDTV?)

 

[TimurCivan]

i have to look into this.... im worried my HVX is fritzing..... lol

 

[Barry_Green]

Well it's definitely not normal! I don't know what could have happened, but 1080 looks infinitely better than that...

Yikes Timur, that is odd...we're shooting on my camera from now on

Have you been able to replicate it?

 

[TimurCivan]

im rendering my reel DVD right now (7 hours and counting), so i cant check right now.

Ok found the problem. it was 2 accidents, that when combines seemed to be a bigger problem.

mistake 1, output was 480i.

mistake 2, Raylight was accidentally set to yellow.


Basically they looked crappy everywhere so ithought it was recorded that way
Whew!
