Thanks for comments, guys.
I'm wondering if the NTSC FX1 is different to the PAL model. I just
rang Sony Australia, who say you should switch the camera to DV, set
the 16:9/4:3 I/O selection to 4:3 which should give a 720x576 DV
signal straight out of the camera and will be a perfect fit with
footage downloaded from the other standard def DV cameras. Leaves me
feeling uneasy though, that doesn't seem to be the message from
posters on this ng.
Sure enough, the left and right edges were masked off in the
viewfinder and a pretty reasonable image resulted. Sony's customer
service didn't seem too sure about what happened within the camera,
but I presume the image is probably recorded as 16:9 DV (customer
service said otherwise), then internally cropped to 4:3 then output as
standard 720x576 DV. So they are effectively doing all the work "in
camera".
Trying the other method, shooting HDV then downconverting to DV, I get
a nice 1024 x 576 image. Looked for some way of harnessing DVStorm2
to lop off the sides ... nothing comes to mind within the Storm
filters, anybody suggest??. Premiere, we still use version 6.02
:-( won't allow more than 20 pixels crop off either side, not enough,
need 152 px off either side. Once that is done, I presume you then
export a movie with output settings of 720 x 576.
Is that roughly how everyone is doing it?
Regards,
Hughy
