I'm editing a 10 minute documentary at the moment.
I exported it as the default export option (DV PAL I think). The video was watchable, but it was jagged, fuzzy and compressed in parts - typical for miniDV.
Instead I chose to export the video choosing the "Uncompressed 10 bit DV" option. The uncompressed picture was noticeably cleaner, however, whenever there was any fast camera movement, or fast movement of the subject, the movement created an annoying flickering effect which made it immediately unwatcheable. Why is this happening? If it's uncompressed, the motion shouldn't have any problems.
I'm thinking it might be a better option to export it as DVCPRO50 or DVCPROHD instead. Sure, the image won't be as compressed as uncompressed 10 bit, but it will be a damn site better than the default compression, plus it may preserve the original motion. I could be wrong. I should run some test exports in the various settings.
By the way, I shot in 16:9 on a Canon XL1S.
