35mm in Shake

[jonwolf]

I shot some 35mm and got it transfered onto mini dv. I captured it in FCP as regular NTSC. When i bring the file into shake,the picture has pixalation and can not be keyed out right. Do i have to capture it in FCP in a specifc format? Any help thanks.

Re: 35mm in Shake

You have 4:1:1 compression issues. There are other threads on this. You need to do some chroma blurring.

Why not get the 35mm transfered to an uncompressed 4:4:4 file?

i would have suggested transferring that 35MM to a sequence of uncompressed stills stored on a removable hard drive that way you can interpret the footage any way you want

Well. You should capture your footage by the mos quelity wires you can reach. That means SDI over DIgibeta (talking about SD). If you can't reach Digibeta, try to tape it to a DVCAM over SDI, and feed to the computer by SDI. If you can't, try to do it over DVCAM and Components and the same way to the capture system. Or if you prefer try to do it with the same configuration but by DVCPRO.
If you can't do it over BETA SP components. Last chance, BETA SP over Svideo. The weak way to do it is transfering your 35mm via DV NTSC. At least try it on PAL, better color compression 4:2:0 instead 4:1:1.
I'll try all this combinations and that seems to me the priority.
