Topic: Output in SD - 720 lower or upper

[nondrop]

Here at Globo Tv in Brazil, we work at sd mode yet, 720x486 lower field for Matrox LE or upper field for Sony XDCam.
I try use 1280x768 mp4, but is progressive not interleave.
I try use output 1280x768 in frame sequence (png), but the video is not smooth.
How can i fix that???

Hi nondrop, Lumion is currently only capable of rendering progressive frames at 30fps in the following resolutions:

640x360
1280x720
1920x1080

For that reason, the only option is to convert your footage to SD interlaced format in a 3rd party video editor.

Can you upload a sequence of .png files that show what you mean by "not smooth"?

where i can upload it?

I guess it will be a large zip file with the PNG files, so perhaps it's best to use TransferBigFiles.com or one of the other file upload websites.

WeTransfer works fine, up to 2GB, it's fast and free.

Thanks for uploading the files.

I can't play the .mxf file and the .avi is black, but I checked out the PNG sequence and it's completely smooth.

I guess you need to experiment more with the frame rates and interlace settings in your video editors?

[nondrop]

First , many tahks for your help.

You may import the .mxf file in after efects 5 or grather.

and the .avi is matrox mjpeg codec.

I will try convert with external software.

many tx.

Well folks, the best solution found so far, is to render in 1280x 720 in Lumion at the highest quality in sequence of images (PNG for example), import into After Effects and scale it down to 68%, and use the Real Smart Motion Blur to remove the flick, and render output to the matrox.
That's right, hugs.
