Does anyone use both MPEG and FCE in creating their edits?
I am trying to confirm if I am using all the correct settings. My first couple of edits were a mess due to poor picture quality.
So I think I my settings are incorrect somewhere, either in MPEG or FCE.
When I look at the clip exported from MPEG the quality looks excellent, but when I look at the exact same clip after I edited and exported it
from FCE, the picture looks muddy and pixelated, especially during action sequences.
So I think maybe I have figured out where the problem lies but just want to get a second opinion if I have found all the correct settings.
Here is how I have set up MPEG STREAMCLIP:
COMPRESSION: Apple DV/DVC PRO NTCS
with the INTERLACED option at 100% quality 16:9
plus I leave the INTERLACED SCALING and REINTERLACED CHROMA checked
match the field settings (upper/lower)
and enter the frame rate
Sound right so far?
And for FCE I have now chosen:
I go into EASY SET-UP, I have tried various combinations to poor results, but I now think the correct settings should be
FORMAT: NTSC
USE: DV-NTSC
Does that sound right? I thought at first for format I should have been using the Panasonic DV/DVD PRO, since it sounded similar to the MPEG setting, but now I think that was incorrect...
Any pointers would be greaty appreciated.
Thanks.
