Dawgy · 08-07-2002, 08:18 PM

i am bringing some video into my PC from my Sony DV recorder, and i want to take some still shots from the video. i can do it with my software (crap that came with camera) but they arent very clear... u can see lines in them, like a bad still image from a tv...

no... $$ are an issue

VoodooMachine · 08-07-2002, 08:24 PM

is legitimacy an issue ?
cuz there's a lot of 'backup' copies of Premier floating around.

haha.

Most people would just go to download Kazaa Lite and get a copy with all the plug ins. But downloading software is bad.

Final Cut Pro is the best HANDS DOWN.

yup, but if $ is an issue, probably not an option. also, fcp has a fairly steep learning curve.

no, but it is the best video editing you can buy short of avid. it is actually an incredibly good deal.

we use fcp almost every day.

bawdy · 08-07-2002, 09:13 PM

Hi Dawgy

u could probable do this using quicktime pro

also make sure that u have set the dv quality setting in quicktime to high... there's an option there somewhere have a look around

good luck

Dawgy · 08-07-2002, 09:15 PM

i must be an idiot... im getting worse results in premier than i did my crappy software...

RedShoe · 08-07-2002, 09:24 PM

If you use PC, get Vegas Video 3. It rivals Final Cut Pro, and is considered better than FCP by some people.

I don't have either, but that's what I've heard.

Pornwolf · 08-07-2002, 09:37 PM

I use Premiere but I will admit that the learning curve isn't steep at all in Vegas. You will be rockin in a few hours after install. Quicktime pro is good as well. I love the MP4 conversion option in it. Also try the standard Movie Maker in Windows XP. It's basic but that might just be what you need.

Dawgy · 08-07-2002, 09:37 PM

ok... well ive decided that part of the problem is my video sux. the motion is too fast, and even looking at the imported video frame by frame, its blurry... so i guess when i try to export a still image of a blurry frame, i get tv-lines... ?

any tips on the best format for importing? mine is defaulting to 32mhz, 30fps, 720x480, 16bit audio....

Dawgy · 08-07-2002, 11:12 PM

alright... now here's an interesting tidbit...

if i export a bmp image series from a clip, i end up with lots of bmps... all at 720x480 just like the video... however they all have tv scan lines .... odd for a DV recorder i think....

if i size the images down, to 360x240, they are clear... no scan lines... look exactly like the should....

any suggestions?

my cam is a sony dcr trv-240 ntsc

drunkdollars · 08-07-2002, 11:20 PM

De Interlace...

You can do this in photoshop or in premiere outputs.

I prefer to do both for best results

doh. ok that sorta works.

what can i do in premier? like when i go to file > export clip > movie... and set all the options that it will let me set (very few) ... even if deinterlace is set, it doesnt seem to do anything

drunkdollars · 08-07-2002, 11:30 PM

I think that is about all you can do..
Just make sure you have all the settings at highest quality when you capture the vid

Also in low light of fast moving sections you might not get crisp pics with a 1 ccd camera..

I dont have premiere in front of me just gong from memory

Dawgy · 08-07-2002, 11:35 PM

hmm... weird...

here's wut i have

drunkdollars · 08-07-2002, 11:47 PM

Yeah i think maybe that cam wont do vid caps as well as some of the higher end models. If you post an example maybe I can tell you more.

This is about as good as I can get them

Dawgy · 08-08-2002, 12:03 AM

well thats about as good as this is getting... some pics i can just deinterlace in PS and looks fine... others it has no affect..

weird... thanx for the help
