Hi Nick, I do not know if you solved your issue. Sometimes these issue happen. I the past we noticed that some issues with Timecodes (slight offset or not the same length of the Master clips) and also corrupt frames caused these errors after consolidating. My advice is to find out which clips or mediafiles are causing your crash. I would try following

Hi knejmann, [quote user="knejmann"]If you use interlace=lowpass=off or interlace=lowpass=2 in the ffmpeg filter chain you should get a sharper image but possibly more moire/twitter - see https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#interlace[/quote] thank you. This clarifies why the image gets blurry because of the default linear lowpass. I tested

Hi Vilem, thank you for your advice. [quote user="Vilem"]and Image Interpolation: Advanced.[/quote] I activated the "Advanced" Render setting before I linked and transcoded the clips. I also made some test without. The quality difference is minimal with my footage. Best Buchel

Hi Pat, yes of course. The screenshots are there to get an idea. You have to play the sequence on an interlaced monitor to see the real issues.

I made a testing sequence with three different approaches and two different input files (one is 50p and one is 25p) Here are two screenshots with results side by side. Even in still you can see differences when you look at diagonal lines. It is worse when you playback the sequence. From left to right: 1. Left: Link into Bin (project 1080i50) with Settings>Render>use

Hi Taner, thank you for your reply. [quote user="taner"]At my facility we transcode only DJI-, GoPro, Smartphone- and AVC-footage outside of Media Composer.[/quote] This is what we normally do, when we do not have a daily show with tons of such footage. [quote user="taner"]For transcoding-purposes outside of Media Composer we are

Hello Telegram!, thank you. No, I did not notice the Shutter Encoder before. Seems to be a very nice tool. I guess it uses FFMPEG in the background. I will play around with that in the next days. At first glance I miss the output as OP Atom files, so you have to consolidate the files after encoding and i miss the XDCAM EX 35 codec (nice to have). Do

Hi, this thread is for all of you who are struggling with poor quality when using footage from the inflationary used low budget consumer cams like gopros or dji stuff or other Cams (A7 a.s.o.a.s.f) with progressive codecs in an interlaced project. (There are many threads about this and similar issues but none of them have a real solution I think) Also

Hi Pat, [quote user="Pat Horridge"]but the sacrific is expanded bit steps (banding) [/quote] Maybe we talk about different banding artefacts. Mine are very heavy and look sometimes like old 8-Bit Nintendo graphics. Not even close to the broadcast quality. Before you ask, there are no color adapters on our footage. You are right. Most of the
