G3 and Canon 550d

G3550D — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 07:35:06 +0000

Hi, I own a canon 550d and a lumix g3 and edit footage in Sony Vegas Studio 11 (HD Platinum). Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how to use footage from both cameras in the same project - for example the lumix is interlaced and the canon isn't. Many thanks Stan

Mac software to fix GH2 HDMI output

jeschot — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:14:45 +0000

As discussed on this site and elsewhere the HDMI output of the GH2 camera is always interlaced, even if the clip is really 24p.
The telecine method used to convert from 24p to 50i or 60i results in very irregular interlace patterns that defeat standard inverse telecine procedures.

The following cases need correction:
1. 24p output in NTSC mode (60i)
1. 24p output in PAL mode (50i)
3. 29.97i output as 30i (NTSC)

If there are more, let me know.

So far I have been able to deal with the 24p->50i case. If you have a Mac and a PAL camera download my software JES Deinterlacer (Mac only) and give it a try. You need the latest alpha (v3.8).
For the other two cases I need test files. One or two minutes of footage is enough. Just provide me with a download link.

GH2 red interlace issue? Or is it a premiere cs5 issue?

disclaimer: Vitaliy, if this is already covered somewhere else, feel free to delete or move my post.

I've found out a very strange phenomenon with gh2 footage in (at least) premiere cs5. The reds look interlaced (jagged) while everything else is normal. Iv'e found that the same footage looks better in VLC aswell. I've of course matched the sequence to the footage and it has occurred with several different camera settings - it becomes obvious only with strong reds.

I wonder if someone else have encountered a similar problem and if you have any suggestions as to why it happens? (possible solutions?)
