REAL DETAILED INFO for anyone up to the CHALLENGE OF SAVING THE DAY!~

My video is totally distorted and I don't know what to do. A production house used Blackmagic to import the beta footage onto our harddrives. I downloaded blackmagic onto my computer.
The image has an interlacing problem- and not just because i am watching it on the computer monitor- because i have printed to dvd and the interlacing issue is still very much apparent when i watch it on a NTSC monitor. The image looks great (color,detail), except for when there is movement, and the movement is staggard/blurred/choppy... whatever- all of the above! I really am not sure how to solve this problem?
Within Final Cut 5, I cannot solve the distortion issue- hense I cannot export an appropriate video- so believe that somewhere in the mess of my settings in FCP- something terrible is being overlooked.
I have a sequence set at:
Frame size 720 x 486
Aspect Ratio: CCIR NTSC (40:27)... (The only other CCIR options to choose from are CCIR 601 NTSC Sq. (4:3), or PAL...)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601/ DV (40:27)
Field Dominance: Lower (Even)
29.97
QUickTime Video Compressor: Blackmagic - Quality set for high
Video Processing Motion Filtering quality: Best
I have a clip with item properties set at:
Frame size 720 x 486
Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601
Field Dominance: Lower (Even)
Video Rate: 29.97 fps
Compressor: Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2
Data Rate: 20.3 MB/sec
I tried the sequence setting compressor as uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 before as well and was getting the same distortion issue.
When I export a quicktime movie i choose format- qtmovie with compression at blackmagic 8 bit.
when i use compressor and convert it to an mpeg4 the footage has issues. (The compressor will also not allow me to change the geometry setting to a "720x480 mpeg2 file" as you had said, and is locked in as 720X480 (and i am not sure how to go about changing that).)
What should I set my sequence setting to, and how should i export so that i may finally get this footage to DVD. PLEASE PLEASE HELP.
Much appreciated.

I do not see in your post where you tried upper field setting on the footage.
Make a copy at the Finder level of one of your shorter media files. Start a complete new, empty project. Import the clip. Now try adjusting the field setting for the clip. Then reset the clip and try changing the sequence setting. Then change both. One of those combinations is going to work. If it doesn't, the media may have been captured improperly and that's an argument you cannot win. You can ask nicely for another short clip from the production house and then demand they use alternate field settings (but I don't have a BM rig so I have no clue how the thing works).
You really need to be talking to Blackmagic. There's a BM forum over on creativecow.net but, if you go there, try looking for field issues before posting and, if you insist on posting, let those good souls know you've also posted here.

  • Size info for User is 2x the sum of sizes of the folders. Why?

    On a MBA running Yosemite, running out of storage space.
    If I query the info for main User, Finder says it is 85GB.
    If I query each of the folders in that User, they only add up to 35GB.
    Clearly, those 50GB would be nice to have back.
    Where might the "hidden" files be? 

    Mystery solved! Still dragging along old backups from iOS devices long since forgotten. They can be removed from within the iTunes preferences. Once removed through iTunes, they immediately free up massive amounts of storage!

  • How do I re-enter login info for web sites into the auto fill feature?

    When I first got my iPhone 4 I was asked if I wanted to save the login info for the sites I need to visit. This was very convenient.  But Inhad to change some passwords and clear cookies and now I have to manually re-enter the info again and again. How can I set it up so when I go to the 3 or 4 sites that I need to constantly visit already has he login info entered?  When I go to Autofill it has a switch for passwords  but no way to set them up. Help.  I am spending half my day reentering login info again and again.

    You could try going into settings, Safari, auto fill then turn on names and passwords.

  • Updating info for multiple songs at the same time?

    Is there a way to highlight multiple songs and change info for the songs at the same time without having to do it for each individual song? Example: changing the album or the genre for a batch of songs?
    Thanks.

    Michael,
    You can shift-click to make a continuous selection or command-shift to make a discontinuous selection.
    Then choose Get Info from the file menu.

  • What widget is used for this Site-of-the-Day?

    My Muse website is for my design business, and I need to show several pages of design samples (covers, logos, tech art, etc.). I think a slideshow widget will work best, but I have problems with the built-in ones (another forum entry probably). I like this presentation from an Adobe Muse Site-of-the-Day (http://du2design.com), and like that the thumbnails "fade" back while the selection is in the front. I can't find any widget that does this; the thumbnails disappear completely. Can you tell me what widget was used here, or how one was modified? Thanks. Here is a screenshot of the effect.
    (not sure how to add an image here)
    file://localhost/Users/jbaumgartner/Desktop/sample.tiff

    Anshul,
    Thanks for the help. I changed the widget I had to your suggested one, and I think it's what I need. However, I still have problems with it which I don't seem be able to resolve. Most of the elements of the widget I can access and will be able to change (color, size, position, etc), but there are a couple of things I don't see options to solve.
    1. I "Placed" 20 cover samples into the widget, and they loaded OK and show in the Assets window. None of them are in the thumbnails, only the various gray tints. How can anyone select a sample or even see the samples that are presented? I can find no way to make the thumbnails reflect the samples.
    2. As I said, I placed 20 samples. The thumbnail container loaded all 20 items (tints), but the container just extends to the right outside the site dimensions in a single row. I don't see anyway to make the container multi-rows and stay within the boundaries of the site. This is how the example was presented, 15 samples with 3 rows of 5.
    3. My site has a static menu area in the upper left of the page for navigating the site, a master item. In design mode, the page has the widget placed to the right of this area, but in Preview mode (and also browser mode), the slideshow samples appear to the left of the position and overlap the menu area. I don't see any way of fixing this. Changing the position of the target area in the container further right makes no difference, it still Previews to the left of Design position and overlaps the menu.
    I think this widget may work for my needs, but not if I can't resolve these issues listed above. I'd appreciate any help with this. Thanks,
    John B

  • Need Advice on How To / Recommended App. for Custom "Word of the Day" Screensaver

    I really like the “Word of the Day” screensaver that comes with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  I would like to either 1.) customize this screensaver with my own dictionary OR 2.) identify an app that I could purchase / download which would allow me to create my own custom “Word of the Day” screensaver. 
    Does anyone have advice on how I can create a custom “Word of the Day” screensaver using my own dictionary?
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!
    If you have time for just a couple more questions.  The ultimate goal is have my new flash files in a version (as3) so they can be used as android, html5 and iOs products.
    So would the steps be these?
    Install cs6
    Open SWF files that were created in as2
    (I am assuming by doing this, all the assets will end up in the library which is currently not happening when I import the swf files into Flash CC)
    So now I have the old swf files open in a version of flash that works in as2.
    I understand that as2 is not fully convertible to as3.  But assuming I want to use the assets (graphics and audio) to recreate the animations in as3 can I then save the as2 file as as3 so it would then work with AIR?
    Thanks again?

  • Has anyone else had the day view crash calendar in iOS 7.1 on iPad Air?

    I recently updated to iOS 7.1 on my iPad Air (128 GB cellular). When I go to the calendar app and select the new "Day" view, the calendar app crashes.
    I have iCloud calendar and two Google calendars syncing with the device. When I disable all calendars from syncing, I no longer experience a crash in the "Day" view.
    Has anyone else had similar experiences?
    Thanks,
    Fyzel

    Switching to day view doesn't crash calendar but I can't launch the calendar app in iOS 7.1 (on my iPad 2) if synch is in and it was last in day view. It crashes on launch.

  • Wallpaper info for anyone that's interested... Landscape orientation only

    I had spent ages trying to find out the optimal size for a wallpaper, and couldn't seem to find any real info. So after a couple of test images, I have discovered some useful info, that may or may not be of use to other people trying to figure out the wallpaper sizes.
    If you create a wallpaper that is 1920x1200, the width gets scaled to fit the 5 home screens. So if you scroll all the way left, you see the left edge of the image, and the same to the right.
    Heightwise, you get a strip that is 800 pixels high in the centre of the wallpaper, that gets scaled to fill the screen height. So your wallpaper is effectively a 1920x800 strip, in the middle of a 1920x1200 image. This doesn't work in portrait mode, but that doesn't bother me, because I don't use the tablet in that orientation anyway.
    That might be of no use to other people, but I thought I would share it anyway, just in case it was.

    I'm sorry, but that is not correct. Download this image and set it as your wallpaper. I guarantee that you will not see the text that says "1920x1080" on your tablet screen.
    Couldn't add the image, as the forum resizes it.
    Here's a screenshot of my tablet screen, with a 1920x1080 image set as the wallpaper. As you can see, the top of the screen shows 1920x800. That is the maximum height that is visible, and that's an 800 pixel high box in the middle of the image. If I was to show the left side fully scrolled, the edge would be missing too.
    If you think about it, the tablet screen is 1920x1200, so it would have to scale a 1080 high image to fill the screen, but it also has to cater for scrolling two screens to the left or right, so it has to scale the width to fit that too.
    If you want the full size image to check for yourself, pm me an email address and I'll send it over.

  • I can't change the info for my songs on the new iTunes

    Ever since I updated to the new iTunes, I have been having issues changing some of the information for some of my songs and albums.  I checked the file location to see if the "read only" box was checked, and it was not.  How can I fix this?  Anyone else having this issue?

    Sometimes logging out of iTunes can free up the editing.
    Do you use iTunes Match?

  • SATA info for P55-A5302 on the DVD side.

     HELP
    I need info as to the Sata connection from the board to the DVD.... { I have replaced the DVD Rom for a Hardrive Caddy! It does work too}
    The issue at hand is ... in BIOS, this drive (in the Caddy) does not show up at all. Does still show the DVD CD Rom, with no drive attached. Once booted, in windows or Ubuntu,  I can see and use this drive.
    Would love to be able to switch and use this drive to boot from. (Pain in but, to switch the ssd out for testing in win10TP).
    Any help with this would be great!
    thanks

     Seems to me, several folks have read..but..no help. PLUS I have no clue as to why it was moved to "General".
    What I am trying to find out,.... WHY (when using a hard drive caddy, in place of optical drive)  the drive does not come up in bois???
    I have great drives. they check out fine, HOWEVER, when install into a "Toshiba" , in the optical drive tray... They do not show up in bois or the "Service Station" for booting into...
    Agian, I would like to know why?
    More IMPORTANT, IS HOW, could I boot off of a hard drive, in place of the optical drive???
    ( FYI.  I have used 2 different hard drive caddies, and on a "TOSHIBA" they do not show up (for booting off of) however, I have used the same trays, same dics, on an ACER Aspire V5... and YES THEY SHOW UP IN BOIS...plus you can boot of them. Just happened, I thoguht a Tosh Sat. P55 would be a much better machine.... really don't want to look for a replacement laptop, when this is still less than a year old )

  • Question for anyone who has the American Ball game

    I've been spending a lot of time saving up my tickets in American Ball so I can unlock some more items.
    I've finally reached 5,000 tickets and I'm wondering if the table that costs 5,000 tickets is worth it.
    Is there any difference between the different skee-ball tables aside  from the appearance?  For example, does the skee-ball table that costs  5,000 tickets have a higher ticket pay-out than the one that only costs  1,000 tickets?  Or is it basically just a different skin with all the same features?

    Hi Julio,
    I sat exam 98-364: Database Fundamentals just to see what the MTA exams were like and found the question difficulty and content very similar to what was outlined in the study guide available from Certiport. I found
    the exam rather easy however I've had quite a lot of experience with databases and also have a number of other Microsoft database certifications.
    You need to keep in mind that the MTA exams are designed for people who are just starting an IT career path or are looking to enhance their understanding of IT fundamentals i.e. These exams are really for beginners. As stated by Davin, you'd probably be
    better off looking into the MCSD: Web Applications certifications.
