Re: [Avid-L2] Moire solutions?

I think there is moire in at least component HD as well. Or at least that's what this monitor is telling me.

It may be more accurate to call it a compression artifact though and not moiré.

The material is from two C300s recorded internally, XF MPEG-2 422 50Mbits. Folks who were on the set say they didn't see anything on the studio monitors.

I stuck a quick Gaussian Blur on it and even two pixels wasn't enough for it to go away...

Moiré is only a problem on composit SD video.

Who watches that? (yeah, a lot of people, i know...)

Select a wide area with a matte, blur the darn piece a bit (a very small part is enough), and be done with it.

So what if a moving hand gets blurred, it's got motion blur already, or it won't be moving....

The age-old problem of moire.

Last time I checked basically everyone said "blur" but if they can put a
man on the moon shouldn't there by now be a great plug-in that
selectively and dynamically blurs the problem areas and magically fixes
the problem with the least amount of effort from an editor? (Oh
wait...that whole man on the moon thing ended over 40 years ago in '72.)

I have a dancing shirt in an interview with lots of hand gestures...so
short of rotoscoping I don't know what will really cure the problem...

Thanks for any suggestions.
