Small point: when you load a b&w cartridge it disables the 85 filter since the 85 is for colour correction purposes.

HI,

Not on a Leicina Special though (Christian's cam) which you set manually...

I stand corrected. My question now would be, why engage the 85 on b&w film?

..ok..here is the finished project...

the place where I do my editing switched from premiere to
avid..so this turned out to be my first contact with avid..

I made it an avid 25interlaced project because I felt that
in interlace mode small speed changes looked better than
in 25p mode (had to apply small speed changes, because my
camera does not run at exactly 25fps)...
..while it looked good on tv while cutting the video.. it looks kinda ugly when exported as quicktime or avi to watch
on a computer screen... :)

next time I will go the 25p route again straight from the beginning

anyway

here is the result which could be much better qualitywise..
(maybe I will reedit it 25p in a few days, but for
now this has to work)

good work. congrats.

just deinterlace before output if the interlacing is a problem. i think you made a good choice to do it interlaced if you're doing speed changes. even better is to figure out the speed of your camera, it's probably pretty constant, then change the audio speed accordingly.

I wouldn't even change the audio speed. If I get a camera that's a little wild, that is if it's within maybe 4%, I'd just do manual cuts to the audio to keep it in sync. Digital stretching makes the audio really grainy and you know already what slight video speed changes do.

BTW, I couldn't play either of the videos you posted even though I have all the necessary plugins etc.
I may sound stupid, but I hide it well.
