After thousands of man hours and millions of dollars spent, the scientists at Brooks laboratories have tweaked the footage in Premiere to downplay the interlacing, tone down the reddish tone and sharpen things a bit. They also used neat video to remove some of the noise.
Alarm bells ringing!
The scientists at Brooks laboratories don't seem to understand certain video basics, such as the difference between interlaced video and video telecined with 3:2 pulldown.
I had an almost identical conversation with another new member just a couple of weeks ago:
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-SWOLT-ANHV8-Preservation-Project/post/580980/#TopicPost580980Your sample plays with no audio, however the vimeo link plays with a choppiness that suggests you have not carried out an IVTC.
I tried to remove the pulldown with aftereffects (using the interpret footage/remove pulldown option) and it looked worse (to my eyes) than what I had previously. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong?? When I say interlaced I meant the horizontal lines, jaggys I think I've seen it described in some of the threads here, what is the proper terminology for that phenomenon?
The thing I want to fix in the sample is the aspect ratio. It's a widescreen vhs converted to DV so the black bars of the widescreen are contained inside of the DV frame. I'd like to make it look more natural, without so much space on top and bottom, but when I try to do a simple resize in premiere it looks much worse, lots of detail lost with any enlargement. How do you guys compensate for that when you capture the old fashioned wide screen tapes or LDs?
