  • when & when not to preserve edges

    i’ve never exactly sussed out the preserve edges settings in the “interpret footage” pane. the afx manual says: “Click Preserve Edges (Best Quality Only) to increase image quality in nonmoving areas when the image is rendered at Best quality”. that seems like a good thing that you always would want. does everyone just automatically check this (and can you really see a difference) and why would you not always use it? does it increase render time substantially?

    It should only be used if you are deinterlacing a clip and plan on keeping it progressive and not field rendering at the end. It is trying to do more intelligent deinterlacing. I personally use magic Bullet or Revision Fields Kit for this instead, since they are “smarter” deinterlacers.
