    This may seem like a stupid question but Ive never done it so Im going to ask.

    If I have filmed a project in HDV 1080 50i (sony z1e) captured it in HDV had the render settings to proress 422 at the end of the project and I want to make a digital master file do I do the following?

    File>export>quicktime movie

    Then select
    Setting profess 422 1080×1920 50i 48KHz
    And check recompress movie and make self contained?

    If I wanted to make a deinterlaced version would can I just select the 25p proress 422 codec or do I need to do this in compresser?

    Correct but you don’t need to check “Recompress”.

    I recommend you to set “Render all YUV material in High Precision”. This should improve the rendering. The sequence is rendered in 32b Floating Point. Of course it will take longer.

    For a progressive version you have two option;
    – Deinterlace in any application able to do a good job.
    – Change your sequence to NONE (progressive) and drop a de-interlacer filter in all the footage in the sequence. The best option for FC is Nattress filters. The only that works in 10b.
    This method is more recommendable that the first one. Mostly if you have used some graphics, titles, etc.

    Hi Stewart,
    This you can check it right before exporting.
    Normally I work with XDCAM footage and I edit native.
    Only when everything is ready I change the codec to Proress and set “High precision”.
    Another interesting setting is “Render Motion Effects: BEST”. This should help with any kind of re-sizing, pan cropping, etc. It also make the rendering slower, so is not necessary until the end.
    The point is to have as much RT as you can while editing and set the “better rendering” elements only for exporting.
    BTW, thanks for the 5 COWs. Not merited, by I love them 🙂
