How much can I magnify the footage?

	Re: How much can I magnify the footage? by Shane Ross on Jul 2, 2009 at 8:12:35 pm [Bill Doyle] "hat can I get away with? 5%? 10% More? " Any more than 10% and it will be very noticeable. That is my limit, except in EXTREME cases. [Bill Doyle] "Is there any way to do it in the browser before making all the subclips or will it need to be done once the individual clips are in the timeline? " YOu can do it only in the timeline, but then drag the clips from the timeline to the Browser to make new clips. Then you can work from those.

	Re: How much can I magnify the footage? by Tom Wolsky on Jul 2, 2009 at 8:13:01 pm If it's in ProRes you can probably get away with 15%. Yes you can do it to the master clip in the browser before you make subclips.

	Re: How much can I magnify the footage? by walter biscardi on Jul 2, 2009 at 8:55:45 pm Not much, especially since it's HDV footage. Converting to ProRes doesn't give you any quality enhancement so it's already badly compressed as it is. Anything over 100% scale will be noticeable.

	Re: How much can I magnify the footage? by Wayne Carey on Jul 2, 2009 at 10:16:52 pm Guys.... Dude said that he is down-converting it to DVD. You can get away with a little more than 15% before its noticeable. I did a video for a client that I had to blow up an HDV image about 200% shot with the Sony Z1U in its "progressive" mode, and the client loved it. Was it noticeable?... Yeah, but it was acceptable. Fox Sports accepted the show it went into. Did I like doing that? NO. But sometimes you have to do things for clients that you don't like doing. Its called "making the client happy". Its amazing how much you can getaway with when you down-convert to SD from HD. _______________________________ Wayne Carey Schazam Productions http://web.mac.com/schazamproductions schazamproductions@mac.com Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: How much can I magnify the footage? by Tom Wolsky on Jul 3, 2009 at 7:48:22 pm Relying on the downconverted destination supposes that you will edit your program or at least assemble your program in SD before you send it to compression and authoring. It also means that you've permanently limited yourself to SD output or lower. If you're OK with that then sure.
