Touched up guide to ripping and prepping footage.

Postby AMV_4000 » Tue Jun 19, 2007 10:09 am

Yeah i just finished touching up my guide to Ripping footage and preparing it for editing... now some people do it a lot different, and some do it like i do, but i have found this way to be faster and easier then other ways.
want a link?
http://cb-r.org/Guide%201/Index.htm

i dont go too much into detail about things, and i try to keep things as simple as possible, so not to much avs help, but i provide links to basically everything i dont cover.


I want feedback on this. if it sucks, tell me what sucks about it, maby offer up something i could change. If it helps you in any way, lemme know. hope it helps someone.

The TIVTC package provides much better quality than the DGDecomb package and it can even correct .dv2 files.

MakeAVIs often causes memory leaks, VFApi is better.

That:
The AssumeFPS(24) basically means that my footage is going to be changed from 29.97 fps to 24 fps.
is wrong in two ways. AssumeFPS(24) would change every Framerate to 24 fps. But in your case:
Code: Select all
Telecide(order=1,post=2,blend=true,vthresh=30,back=1)
Decimate(cycle=5,mode=3,quality=3)
it changes from 23.976 fps to 24 fps, because Decimate has changed it from 29.97 fps to 23.976 fps. The reason for changing it to 24 fps is that nearly no editing software can handle 23.976 fps properly. Editing with 29.97 fps would be fine, since it's standard NTSC, like footage from a NTSC-camcorder.

Oh, really? I'd always been under the impression that Adobe Premiere was the only major consumer NLE that couldn't handle 23.976fps.

Never had that happen, although i tried to make it so that almost any program can use the video, and i hate using the avs plugin in premiere, it ALWAYS f*cks up my install... and as for the TIVTC package, never used it, i may have to try it...

FCP doesn't seem to like it either from my experience...
