Video sweetening is constantly getting better. Lately the best thing you can do for dirt cheap consumer camcorder video is to turn it into progressive 24fps output. While you can't really do that, you can get pretty close for the money. Mind you, this procedure can degrade high quality video just as easily as it improves low quality video. It should only be used for low quality video.
<p />
<ul>
<li> Step 1 - Set project framerate to twice the video framerate.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> Step 2 - Apply a <span class="twikiNewLink" style="background : #FFFFCE;"><font color="#0000FF">VideoSharpen</font><a href="http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/bin/edit/Cinelerra/VideoSharpen?topicparent=Cinelerra.MakingVideoLookLikeFilm"><sup>?</sup></a></span> effect. Set it to sharpness: 25, no interlacing, and horizontal only.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> Step 3 - Drop a <span class="twikiNewLink" style="background : #FFFFCE;"><font color="#0000FF">VideoFrameToFields</font><a href="http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/bin/edit/Cinelerra/VideoFrameToFields?topicparent=Cinelerra.MakingVideoLookLikeFilm"><sup>?</sup></a></span> effect on the same track. Set Average Empty Rows on and play through the video a few times to figure out which field is first. If the wrong field is first, the motion is shaky. Secondly, any editing in the doubled frame rate may now screw up the field order. We're still figuring out the easiest way to support warnings for field glitches but for now you need to go back to the normal framerate to do editing or play test to make sure the fields are right.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> Step 4 - Render just the video to the highest quality file possible.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> Step 5 - Import the video back to a new track. Set the project framerate to 24. The new track should now display more filmish and sharper images than the original footage.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
This entire procedure could be implemented in one nonrealtime effect, but the biggest problem with that is you'll most often want to keep the field based output and the 24fps output for posterity. A nonrealtime effect would require all that processing just for the 24fps copy. Still debating that one.
