my DVX100 footage looks fabulous in FCP. but once exported to DVD to watch
on TV.......can see quite a bit of grain (course, the footage is of a dark context
with a lot of blacks, is this an issue with the DVX100?)
as well as experiencing some color changes.???

this video will be for broadcast TV and needing to know the best route
in preserving the perfect picture thats been editing in FCP. I know there's a
way to present this imagery in a good way, but just need help.

so far, my best guess is to bring the FCP file to a posthouse and get it put
directly onto digibeta.
Am I right? or is there a way thats just as good???

any help would be great. thnks.

(ps- all edited online with FCP imported as 24p advanced pulldown)
 
There was just a thread about noise with the DVX100. Yes, there's noise. It's inherent in the technology.

As for the colors, you do realize that most TVs out there are horribly miscalibrated, dont you? There probably is some sort of "best practice", which I hope someone can help you with, but you shouldn't imagine that most viewers will be seeing the colors that you want them to see.
 
I realize there's some noise with the DVX100. I'm not talking about inherentcy with that sad fact.....I've stated that it looks KILLER in FCP....so I've got footage that I'm
happy with, its getting it OUT of FCP to DVD that seems to be a major issue with noise/quality degradation. Good point about the color thing...I can live with that fact!

Needing "tried and true" paths to getting a 5 minute music video to excellent DVD
viewing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thnks. :)
 
If you are going to be broadcasting it you must remember DVD is inferior to what you would have on your computer.

I reckon the best bet is to go to a production company who does TV ads, etc and get them to do it for you.

If I have to do anything for TV I put the files on a data disc or on tape so no quality is lost, give it to a guy who does TV ads and he runs it through some very expensive equipment which he guarantess will bring it to broadcast standards 100%.

Don't buy the gear, get someone who has the gear to do it for you.

P.S. some stations even accept content electronically e.g. on a data disc or download from a special website.
