Export to flash with best quality
If you had a HDV 1080i50 sequence and were to export with the idea of converting to flash or the web. What process would you go through? What I tend to do is supply to the client in mov format because they then select the flash data rate, size etc for the site, but have found that the quality seems to be really low.
Would you supply an uncompressed quicktime movie?

I’d export in a commonly available, high quality Quicktime movie. My go-to codec is Photo-JPEG at 75%. This is a high quality codec with 4:2:2 color space and fairly small file sizes. I haven’t had the chance to work out the workflow with Apple ProRes 422, but that could work well also, if the separate codec now available works with the Flash encoding application being used.

Hi Phil,
I like to make the downsizing and de-interlacing in FC (with the higher quality setting for rendering and motion) and export a QT movie with Square pixels and the proper size I want in the web.
If the small QT movie looks OK, then I use Compressor or Flash Encoder just for the transcoding.
Normally I use 10b Unc for the .mov. I wouldn’t mind to do it in Proress but I don’t know if is convenient for non standard sizes (macroblocks, etc).
