Captureing Video through DVX to FCP. -

[Joel]

G'day

I have spent a bit of time searching the forum, but i cant seem to find a relevent post. However i think this will be a simple question.

I am Trying to capture a rare VHS Via DVX100 to edit in FCP. It is the only way i think i can do it. It works, However the interlacing becomes really bad.

Here is a pic

i will try to HTML it up:

You can see the effect in his hands in this image.

It is only in fast motion, like here where John Holt it taking off his jumper. Is this a job of the de-interlacing tool? or are there som setting that can match the interlacing better so it will look just like it dose on the tape, when played on a TV.
At What point is this happening?
What setting can combat this?
is it just somthing we have to live with?

Thanks

Looks like regular interlacing to me. That's what any interlaced footage looks like played on a progressive computer monitor. Hard to judge without seeing it in motion. Does it look fine when played out to a monitor from FCP? The only thing that can happen sometimes with interlacing is that the field dominance can shift which makes the interlacing look real bad on an interlaced monitor. If that's the case, just add the shift fields filter in FCP. If you just want to get rid of the interlacing so it looks fine on the web then yes, the de-interlace filter will do the trick.

Last time i made a video into a DVD, it was shocking, and it was still bad when the DVD was played on a TV. I Think the "Shift fields" filter might be the way to go. If none of thet works, i will just go on with it.

Thanks
