    No. This stuff was actually SD that I tested, shot with an SDX900 @ 24p. I then took a few of the raw clips, setup a Compressor preset, let it run and a few minutes later I had 24p clips. It will work the same on 1080 clips

    got it. cool.

    How did the footage compare to regular DVCPRO-50 SD footage directly out of the SDX900 ?

    I have never pulled an easier key. I have yet to do an HD shoot that would allow on set capture, but the next time I will definitely be capturing straight out to disk and by passing the camera codec, although we still run tape backup for assurance.

    Definitely go with Prores HQ, we used to use DVCPRO HD but there would be softness introduced from the scaling to 1280 x 1080. The Pro Res is a lot sharper and gradations definitely are smoother.

    [Jeremy Garchow] “Compressor has a reverse telecine option in it now. I think it automatically detects the cadence and removes PD automatically. I think.”

    Say what!?! I’m gonna have to check this out.

    Yes, it’s in the deinterlace drop down in the frame controls tab. All my tests look great so far. You can batch it all without the A frame fiasco.

    Sweet, I’m checking it out tomorrow. I did read here though that it doesn’t work with the new Kona drivers for Leopard. But I’m on Tiger still so I’ll check it out.

    Hmm, sounds suspicious to me. I am still on Tigey too. It works with AJA Kona 3 installed.
