  • converting 720p to standard definition

    Hello,
    I need to convert my 720p footage to standard def footage while still maintaining as much quality as possible. I don’t know if its better to do it through quicktime, compressor, FCP, 3rd party software etc. And then when I export, do I need it to export with the black letterboxes or not? Thanks!

    If you already have compressor then it should do a better job than FCP, you don’t state what formats you are working with. If you want to spend some money on something, then there are a number of tools you can use that might do a better job, depends on your budget and the amount of time you are prepared to invest getting the best from them.
