Hello Everyone long time no see!! :D A friend of mine bought a mini tape round to see if I could do anything with it...It is a wedding and the whole tape seems to be shot in strobe...Well not strobe exactly but every movement leaves a trail behind it??
James wilson said it may be something to do with progressive scan or interlacing.
Any ideas? a. What caused it b. can anything be done with it? remember I have the original "Aviosaurus"!!!! Beachy

Good morning, Beachy.

a) Sounds like the tape was shot with an effect turned on inside the camera. I'm sure different manufacturers call it different things, but "trailer" seems to be the term I remember seeing on one brand.

b) Not sure of a solution. My guess is there isn't a fix. :cry:

Yes Bob I think your right...All I can offer is to take some stills off of it where possible
