HDV 60i > 960x540 60p > 24p slow motion > H.264 85% for web

Shot this at full zoom, hence the camera motion (thank goodness for the image stabilizer!). Post includes vignette, unsharp mask, and some color adjustments.

Also here is a walking slow motion clip that I added some old film look filters to...

Nice stuff Wes.

Could you be as so kind to teach me how you take 60i footage and convert it to 60p?

Windows XP using Vegas 7.

I don't know how to do it in Vegas, but I'm sure there are workflows out there somewhere, probably right on this board.

Brad, you can use Mike Crash's Smart Deinterlace filter with Vegas. Glenn Chan posted excellent notes: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=52097. Follow that procedure, when you render choose a codec that can do 60p (not native HDV or DV which always codes to 60i). That can be Uncompressed, WMV, H.264, etc. In the render settings make sure output is progressive at framerate 59.940.

Wes, what do you use and how do you get 60p from it...

thanks

Ray, I use After Effects + FieldsKit Deinterlacer because it produces the best video that I have seen so far. After Effects can do the operation out of the box but the results aren't as good. Also I've used JES deinterlacer which works also but the again the output isn't as good as my preferred method.

Thanks Mike.

I've been busy lately and didn't get a chance to see this.

Very much appreciated.
