is the HVX true 1080?

Well i can stick it.... now that i have mod powers... but actually, i think sticking now, wont do much good. People for the most part know how good the footage looks and dont care about pixel counts anymore.
 
ok, so i put new test footages 1080i/24pA in FCP2, & i found out there are 2 ways to de-interlace.

#1. select clip(s), --> click on TOOLS --> click on REMOVE ADVANCE PULLDOWN

#2. select clip(s), --> click on TOOLS --> click on CINEMA TOOLS REVERSE TELECINE.

difference between the two that I found out is that ...

with "Remove adv. pulldown", the file size remains the same, and the frame rate changes to 23.98.

with "Cinema Tools Reverse Telecine", the file size becomes smaller, and the frame rate changes to 24. (not 23.98)

So which is right? 24frames? or 23.98frames? file becoming smaller makes sense... but yea...

thoughts?
 
Not sure why the file size didn't get smaller. In the project setup prior to importing the clips did you check the remover 2:3:3:2?

Good luck,

Jan

Hey Timur, I actually refer people to this thread alot from other forums. The misconception is still rampant out there and it can sometimes be tedious finding the thread.

Actually, if you can just bypass creating a sticky and just staple the thread to the foreheads of the naysayers, that would help.

That might be difficult. Just count me as another vote for a sticky.

Jan,
Yes, the checkbox was checked, though it did not perform its function, I still manually removed advanced pulldown, it did "de-interlace" and frame rate did turn 23.98, but the file size did not shrink at all... honestly, the file size isn't a problem, if it works it works, but 23.98 is the correct frame rate not 24 right?
 
23.98 is correct frame rate as FCP reads it; it's actually 23.976.

Don't, however, confuse removing pulldown with "deinterlacing." I know you only meant that you don't see the interlacing anymore, but there are many who confuse the two.

Never, ever try to deinterlace 24p or any other progressive footage.
 
yea, i meant removing pulldown, sorry... so I guess it's ok with it being the same file size as the raw 1080pA straight out of camera clip?
 
I found the problem, I didn't update my FCP2, after the update, it automatically removed the pulldowns, therefore the file size diminished, footage de-interlaced, and the frame rate converted to 23.98

Thanks all & thanks Jan for reading my careless error...
 
wow there was a lot of info here to digest...

I will hold on my opinion until I really see a hvx200a on a big HD screen in 720p and 1080p modes.

Hello Huy Vu,

I checked out your film(s) on vimeo. good job. What type of dolly did you have?
do you have one of the 35mm adapters for the focus, depth of field, etc?

I am interested in your technical setup. I have an HVX200, but not yet acquired any of the things like matte boxes, adapters, etc. Figure I better learn to use it first!

Good job on the films.

All I want to know is, whatever the process the HVX uses is it better or worse than what the F900 or the F350 does?

Look at the RESULTS produced from any camera to decide whether you want it or not. It's the RESULTS that count right? If you see RESULTS you like, you ask, "What did they shoot that with?", "What did they do in POST?". Then make a choice based on results and your preferences.
