I have upscaled some of my best 'Standard' footage from 720 x 576 to 1280 x720 without too much loss of quality, and occasionally, even a slight improvement. I intend to reprocess incoming High definition material to the same format. The idea is to be able to edit material in the same timeline, without redundancy of my earlier material, since it has been assembled over almost six years. I must, in time, re-format 104 DVD's full, (some over-full), of DV-AVI from my present camcorder, as that work is assembled into batches, and processed overnight, in batches of 25 to 40 clips, or so. It has been an ideal opportunity to convert to progressive-scan, and I have done that too. All processing has been carried out in TMPGEnc 'Video Mastering Works 5', although 'workarounds' are possible using 'Virtualdub' and 'avidemux' as well.</p> <p> When I introduce my material onto the MEP17 timeline, the software gives me an option of conversion 'to another format'. I have experience of 'proxy' files from my days with Ulead's 'Media Studio 8', and I would quite happily use the proxy system again, despite the slight delays in writing the 'proxies' to another drive, before use.</p> <p> Proxies, in short, would be very handy to me. A conversion of the virgin material to another format, such as mpg2, would be useless, and for the standard footage, negate the reason for all the work I have put in so-far. Is anyone, please, able to tell me, whether the 'alternative' files offered when footage is introduced onto the timeline, are 'proxies' (and hence, non-destructive of the original footage), or merely one-way conversions to an unwanted format, which is of no use to me.</p> <p>Ian Smith</p> <p>Dunedin, New Zealand.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-do-chroma-key#post-69714 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 03:25:59 +0000 jthomson 69714@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>That is why green is always prefered over any other color.It a color farthest from any color tone.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/mep17hd-and-panasonic-ag-hmc40-anyone#post-67276 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 23:16:40 +0000 Peter Henry 67276@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi folks, I'm hoping to step from the DVC30 MiniDV standard Def to the Panasonic AG-HMC40 tapeless HD format. A local shop is letting me use the camera for two weeks to see if I will like it enough to purchase (nice!) But already the HD format is troubling me for lack of exposure and understanding what it actually is and how it works. I've done a few days worth of reading on the subject and I'm probably more confused than before... ouch, brain lock. </p> <p>I'm hoping someone out there has this combo and has this figured where they would be willing to help me out.. </p> <p>I shoot mainly hand held, indoors with studio lighting (bright lighting), action sports etc. I need to take the footage and convert it to a web download package, typically WMV and then create a DVD as well. Nothing too fancy but it has to be of a wide useability. Standard Def and MEP14+ does all that perfectly for my needs.. but in HD with MEP17+HD wow.</p> <p>From what I've read, for the type of action I'm shooting I should use 1080 30P as a setting on the camera.. I can edit this in MEP17 no problems with my PC set up, but when I go to convert it to WMV or other web formats, the aspect ration does appear to be 'squat'.. a little wider and shorter than it actually is.. I can't seem to remedy this. It doesn't look quite right, even though its converted to 16:9</p> <p>If you have a lot of this figured out with HD and MEP 17, and would be willing to help a lad with the step across from SD to HD, it would much appreciated..  </p> <p> </p> <p>ideally I'd love to hook up with someone who is set up to provide one on one training to get me started.. </p> <p><a href="mailto:seaking@eastlink.ca">seaking@eastlink.ca</a></p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>If not able to merge myself into the HD world of thing I'm going to have to get myself a DTE recorder on the DVC30 to get away from the tapes issues.. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/burn-3d-reald-disc-to-play-on-3dplayer#post-67015 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 11:12:51 +0000 Reynand 67015@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have Magix Movie Edit HD 17 Plus Pro.  I can burn a regular sidebyside dvd but when plyed on a 3Dplayer, it does not recognize it as a 3D disk.  </p> <p>Can Magix Movie Edit HD 17 Plus Pro create a disc that is recognizable to a 3Dplayer and 3DTV?

(Bumping end is more clearly visible with length</p> <p>4) When you compile or recompile a project rewrite all is overwrite the old stock.</p> <p>5) Normally better to add chapter but I think that Magix add automatically a chapter in the beginning.</p> <p>Check multimedia training on the web.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>YR</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-edit-pro-17hd-dvd-burn-doesnt-work#post-65624 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 18:39:25 +0000 Moab Man 65624@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kFR8D_oPAn4">http://www.youtube.com/embed/kFR8D_oPAn4</a></p> <p>Here is my video I did with Pinnacle because Magix doesn't work.
