720 PN P2 to NTSC Broadcast help
I currently have my clips (720pn) imported (mxf’s) into PPro into a 720p timeline, but I need to edit this footage now for a TV spot (So NTSC braodcast)- what steps do I need to do to insure the footage shows up correctly on the TV?
Is it as simple as importing the p2 footage into NTSC 30fps timeline? (I tried this and the “jaggies seem very pronounced (more so than normal DV footage)
Should I export my progressive footage as interlaced at 30 fps and reimport to the 30fps project?
Thanks,

I’m assuming your doing a standard broadcast spot? If so create a new timeline DV NTSC in 29.97 interlaced. Then import your footage and resize it to fit the way you want. I haven’t had an issue with having to interlace 720p frames (which you can do by right clicking on the footage and selecting “Field Options…” then “Interlace consecutive frames”).
View your DV video on a TV monitor out (firewire device hooked up to a tv?) if you have one. If not, make sure you just view your program in 100%. Don’t zoom in or it will look bad. It won’t look amazing on your computer, because you monitors are high res and not interlaced like standard TV broadcasts.
