firewire to ntsc
by Frank Ruggiero on Jun 10, 2008 at 9:28:52 pm

hi people,

does anyone know an affordable device that can take firewire out of final cut and after effects and convert it into something that can be plugged into a simple tv? like an rca cable? i have heard some users do it with a dv camera, but is there some stand alone box that does it?

thanks in advance.

frank

It might be overkill for your situation, but just about every capture card out there (Kona, Blackmagic, etc.) can send a picture to a TV monitor from AE.

I congratulate you for trying to get a TV monitor hooked up. If you do AE work that eventually will be shown on TV, it's an absolute necessity.

There are many digital converters on the market:

Prices seem to run from about $100 to thousands.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: "For crying out loud, read the freakin' manual."

We have one of these:

Works great at viewing your work on a monitor, and doubles as a way to capture non-firewire sources.

Hi Dave,

Yes, I am really concerned about field issues more than anything. I really need to see the video on some interlaced monitor. As far as legal levels, I plan to use Color Finess's scopes to make sure my values are within range....

The Canopus ADVC-300 works great.

Color Grading presets for After Effects, Premiere, etc., plus free presets and more.
