Flipping or rotating the image...

[tommetass]

Hi there.

I have a problem...

I have the SGpro adapter, not the flip.

In premiere pro CS3... should I rotate or flip the footage?
I've been wondering about this since I got the SGpro..

When I rotate it inside the motion settings.. I get this black edge on the left side of the footage.. and I can't move it sideways cause then the black edge will be on the right side of the footage... so then I have to increase the size of the image to 101%... But this clearly decreases the quality of the footage...

And.. when I use Horizontal Flip and Vertical Flip on the image.. it get's interlaced.. and when I de-interlace the footage it get's these "edges" that you can (also clearly) see after the de-interlacing..
Am I de-interlacing wrong? (I edit in PAL)...

I'm not at home right now, but when I get home I'll upload some grabs so you can see what I'm talking about..

Anyways.. hope you can help me.

Tomas

I also rotate in the Motion settings, but I haven't seen a black edge appear in my footage yet.

Rotate works fine for me as well.
