I had posted this same thread a couple of days ago in the Z1 forum, but as nobody there seems to be interested in it, I'll ask to you, dear EX1 users...
I have to edit a video that has been shooted with two cameras, a Z1 and an EX1. The EX1 was set to 1080/25p and the Z1 had the Cineframe mode on. I will edit it on a Final Cut Pro station.
My question is: how to handle the Z1 footage to give it maximum sharpness and make the color artifacts invisible?
Here's what I have found after plaing with FCP for a while:
- The Flicker filter gives away with the color artifacts, but it makes the Y channel a bit soft (obviously).
- If I put the Z1 clips in a 25p sequence with Prores 422 codec and no fields, FCP save the Y channel information, but the aliasing in vivid colors is still evident.
Anyone knows how could I work on the YCbCr channels separately and then put them together again? This is to put different filters in the CbCr channels without affecting the Y channel. The different composition modes that FCP provides cannot do this (at least I haven't discovered how to do it).
