I have just found a company that will use Telecine to transfer my Standard and Super 8 cine films to AVI which I intend to load onto my PC and edit (and hopefully enhance) in Vegas 10e before transferring the results to DVDA to burn as DVDs. I know some of you have done quite a bit of this and wonder if you would be kind enough to offer some general assistance and advice.
The following thoughts occur to me:-
1.Presumably the final image will come out as 4:3. Am I right and what settings should I use in Project Properties? I live in PAL land and wonder if PAL DV (720x576, 25.000fps) will be OK.
2.This may seem a silly question but will there be any problems because of the difference between the fps rates of cine film and video (i.e. will the final result be slowed down/quicker than the original)?
3.I expect to have to adjust for White Balance and use Levels and/or Colour Curves as well. Are there any other filters (other than Saturation) you would normally expect to bring into use?
4.As a general rule, are there any advantages in using Sharpen, Unsharp Mask or the sharpen pre-set in Convolution Kernel? (I guess this is likely to be a matter of suck it and see on each event).
5.Presumably I should render the final project as DVDA PAL Video Stream. Is this right?
6.Finally, if youy can offer any other tips or advice these will be most welcome.
Sorry to ask so many questions but the skill base in this forum is so outstanding that I do not know where else I could go.
