digital zoom leeway, 1080p 7D footage…
Posted by Jacob Brown on March 27, 2013 at 4:49 pmAm curious in everyone here’s experience, to what degree can I get away with blowing up/digitally zooming in on footage. It’s shot on a 7D at 1080. Will be used for projections at an event. I’ve told them to plan on projecting at 720p.
thanks!

March 27, 2013 at 5:52 pmDepends entirely on the quality of the projector itself and the screen to a lesser degree. If you provide good looking 1080p footage it can look amazing with the right gear. (Or terrible too…) I’d ask to see a test.

March 27, 2013 at 6:38 pmI work with some panasonic cameras, so not the DSLR h.264 codec, but we have found 150% zoom on 1080p footage will still match when working in a 720p project.

March 27, 2013 at 8:18 pmI’d agree with zooming to around 150% but ill add that it can depend on how noisy your image is. Scaling your 1080p footage to 720 will do a lot to reduce didgital noise and obviously scaling up, even if you’re just going back to 100% of the original size will make any ‘grain’ more obvious compared to the rest.
