--------------
In this episode, we're continuing our discussions on dealing with archival and stock sources. In part 1 we explored issues with film sources. In this episode we're exploring issues with video originated sources. Its always a bit shocking some of the issues that even big productions just accept as 'inherent to source'. While that might sometimes be true, there are lots of ways to fix common issues if you know what to look for.

Some of the specifics we discuss include:

  • Dealing with interlacing
  • Blanking & edges
  • Pixel Aspect Ratio (P.A.R) issues
  • Resolution
