Hi,
I was wondering if theres a way to improve DV material
to looks much better as a high quality material.
i know few thigs to manipulate the footage like CC, Grain,Degrain, blur and improve the look…and of course any shot is different,
But what im asking is if there’s a recipe ?
when i render at the end should i render using lower field first..?,
and import it back to the editing software.. or should i render with no field.
thnaksHi!
The best way to improve DV material quality is to make a good photography during the shot, generally with a good lighting, camera setup (shutter speeds, gamma, setup and another things), collor correction and a bit of gaussian blur (like 0.5 on After Effects) can pass like a betacam…

Ow!
Sure u need to render with lower fields…
Well, it all depends of how “bad” are the scene…
Common things are “washed” video (low contrast) than u can apply as much as necessary, sometimes the footage is darker, u can apply a brightness to inrease the video level, can be unbalanced properly excess of blue or yellow (than u increse and/or decrease those color values, these are common problems with footages…

in a layer based analogy, you can use a couple of copies of your original footage, stacked in top of each other using different transfer modes and opacity settings. simply use the overlay mode for a starting point. you may want to add another layer which has only highlights in it (use a keyer or histogram or curve…) blur it and use screen for transfer mode.
or
something like: in top of the original footage use a slightly blurred copy with “soft light” transfer mode. then onother copy with crankend up gamma in “luminescense” mode and a thired slightly sharpend copy with “hard light” mode.
start experimenting from there…and have fun
