Re: [Avid-L2] Best method of converting a 23.976 file and or Avid timeline to 29.97P file?

 

I remember someone had a very interesting approach to fixing field order involving hicon mattes for each of the fields scan lines that was applied as a matte key on a dup of the shot on an upper track and shifted a frame which, with the hold out matte applied keyed back in the proper field of video.  IIRC that Bouke but I may be wrong.  What are other methods of correcting this.  I've dealt with deinterlace with BCC but that's not what reverse field order is.

I offer:

I have the answer for that.  There are two reasons why this occurs: (1) Editors are not seeing the error while editing because they are cutting on so-called 'desktop' editors; Avids installed without broadcast-output hardware (Nitris DX, etc.).  The reversed field order error cannot be seen on a computer monitor in the Avid interface. (2) Editors don't know what to do to fix it even if they could see it.  In addition, Avid doesn't make it easy to fix.  There are a number of ways to fix the error.  All of them take time and results vary or have limitations.  So the error ends up on the air.  I see it all the time at my place and it drives me up the wall.  Sometimes, you just have to let it go . . .   let it go . . . . .    :(
