Delivering in 720P but filmed in 1080P what would you do?
Hey everybody so I just want to double check my thinking here and to see what others would do.
I am working in FCP7 and the final delivery is a 720P ProRes file. The footage was shot on a 5DMKII at 1080P, I am thinking that I will edit in 1080P (1920×1080) then in the end Output the final file at 720P (1280×720). This is my thinking would you do anything differently ?
Frame rate is 24fps for both the source and delivery. -

That will certainly work OK.

I would output the master file in 1080p, then scale and/or compress to whatever you need using compressor, etc.
I shoot 1080 (i, usually) all the time, and when I compress for the web, I just compress to 720p off the exported 1080 final product.

Chris
