    [Matt Campbell] “composite decking”

    ooo, my favorite!

    I would use none and change the sequence setting to none as well. This will hemp with the supers at the end. The footage should look fine except when there is a horizontal pan, which will look a bit jittery.
    Hope this helps

    I’ve already resolved this but thanks for your reply. question, why would you use none? this is a downconversion to Standard Def 29.97 for broadcast, which is interlaced, lower field first. None would be for a progressive sequence, which neither of these are.

    No offense, but it’s the exact wrong advice.

    I agree with Jeremy…

    BTW Matt, if the spot is reduced in size by 50% or more when it goes on the Web that will essentially deinterlace it.

    Sorry about that, carelessness on my part. we use none when it’s a full graphics so I thought it might work with yours as well.
    Panning is still a problem, and we usually add in a motion blur for it.

    Cheers
