Twitter Question FCP and interlaced, blinking lines

Posted by camthecameraman in Mini DVInterlacedFinal Cut Pro

LaptopA question I spotted on twitter:

"Stupid FCP Question Of The Day: Does the blinking look of interlaced DV footage on a computer monitor go away when played on a TV? " from @kennbell

My answer would definitely be, check, and check often.  Its hard to understand what you are talking about exactly but typically I would say, if the flicker looks bad on the computer monitor chances are it will look worse on a TV monitor.

Capturing Video

The basic rule of thumb when selecting project settings is: Match settings to your source material and not to the final output. Even if your goal is to create a low-resolution video to run on the Internet, wait until you finish editing and then reduce the output quality settings.

 

Before capturing you should critically view your raw footage and look for "keeper" clips and sequences, the best interview sound bites, and any natural sound that will enhance your production. The purpose is twofold: to better manage media "assets" and to speed up the video capture process.
