DNxHD out options?
Hi all:
I’ve Lockheed around but cant find an answer for this..
-I did a project shot on the HVX200 PAL in it’s 1080i/25p mode.
-Edited in MC 3 in a 1080/50i project and worked with DNxHD: since I was told I would still retain the progressive look of the footage.
-I went out of Avid with a QT Ref to After Efffects, did all the post and now I want to go back to Avid.
My question: To go out to Avid I choose DNxHD, but in the DNxHD options, do I choose 1080p/25 or 1080i/50 ?
I don’t want to lose the progressive look and I want to loose the least quality.
Thanks in advance!!

whether an animation is interlaced of not won’t be determined by the codec, it would have to be set in the render settings (the default setting should be progressive).
but the interlaced/progressive setting in avid’s codec, probably helps when importing back into avid. so if you are rendering progressive, you should set that codec option to progressive too. that way when it get imported back to avid, avid will interpret the footage correctly.
also, make sure that ae has correctly interpreted the original footage. over here in the states, when ae sees 1080 resolution footage it will almost always try to interpret it as interlaced (separating upper) even if it is progressive.
to check, just select the footage in the project window. at the top of that window, next to the thumbnail, right after the frame size, it should say if it is separate fields. if it says nothing, then it is treating it as progressive.
