Progressive Frame QT Conversion Output
I’m creating many projects that need approval quicktimes send out periodically.
I’m editing in NTSC 8-bit uncompressed SD using FCP 5.12, my field dominance is set to lower.
My footage looks fine on the broadcast monitor. But when I export the sequence to post a quicktime to our FTP
site, much of the video shows it’s interlacing.I have Flip4Mac, and that has a setting that allows me to export as progressive frames and not fields, but that is
only in the WMV format.So far the only way I can figure out to export a Progressive Frame QT, is to change the field dominance to none in the sequence settings, which then requires me to re-render the sequence (Waste a lot of time) before I can send out a QT.
Is there an easier way to do this?
ThanksRoss Hendrickson, Editor

You are using just the quicktime conversion to export? Try exporting a reference movie and bringing that into compressor and do you deinterlacing/encoding there.

Yes, I have been looking for progressive rendered quicktimes through the quicktime converstion export.
Really, the easiest way to go from a lower field dominant timeline to a progressive frame quicktime export.
I would hope that I could do this right from inside FCP and not have to get compressor involved (yet, thank for the tip of course).Ross

You can set yourself up a preset in compressor and it’s almost just as easy and you can do multiple compressions at a time, or keep editing while your export movie compresses.
Don’t be scared of it, it’s really useful and will give you tons of more useful options.

Good point about the process running in the background. I’ll give it a run.
Thanks Jeremy, much appreciated.Ross

No problem, if you have any further question regarding compressor, please don’t hesitate to post back.
