I just upgraded from 7 to the latest version of 8. My client airs 720 59.94, but shoots everything 1080 23.976. Therefore, I ama link and transcode their footage in a 1080 23.976 project and then open the transcoded bins in a 720 59.94 Project for edit and output.
When I place a clip on to the timeline, I get a weird ghosted frame issue. If I open the motion effects editor, I can fix it by switcing it to BOTH FIELDS. This is a bit of a pain in the ***.
In my previous version of avid, I had everything default to BOTH FIELDS (a real timesaver). Unfortunately, I forgot how to change this. My best guess is to modify RENDER SETTING(S). Here's what I changed:
RENDER SETTING - CURRENT
IMAGE INTERPOLATION: Advanced (Polyphase)
TIMEWARPS RENDER USING: Both Fields
MOTION EFFECTS RENDER USING: Both Fields
RENDER COMPLETION SOUND: Render Sound
USE FRAME BLENDING IN MOTION ADAPTERS: Unhecked
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T CHANGE ANY SETTING THAT WILL HURT ME LATER (IN THE TRANSCODE PROCESS FOR EXAMPLE). DO THESE SETTINGS LOOK GOOD TO YOU?
Thanks!
