Hi,

I'm editing 24PA DV footage on FCP shot with a DVX-100 and noticed that the bright orange uniform worn by a student looks very blocky and pixelated. I never noticed this blockiness with other footage, but there's a definite difference when this student wears bright orange. I opened the file in quicktime and noticed the same issue. Could FCP or the DVX has some compression issues with the orange color?

Thanks,
Alexander

I've been experiencing the same exact thing you have with a dvx100a in 24pa mode with the red nose of a pototo head guy. Any ideas of how to correct it anyone??

thanks

It's not the DVX or Final cut, it's the format - DV.

Mainly reds just have a hard time and the compression gets to them. you'll see HUGE blocks of uniform red where there should be smooth grads and jagged edges making footage look awful.

Unfortunately, I can't think of how this is resolved, I've read a few pages on the processes that people use, but didn't save them. Try a google on DV red, or something along those lines to see what people are doing. Might be some freeware out there or something.

Anyways, sorry I'm not of much help, just had to drop in and stick up for my boys. ;)
