Exporting to quicktime

[Göran Thorén] “I have also noticed that FCP doesn´t do a very good downconerting jobb”
I don’t agree with this.
I would never use FC to up-size nothing, but for down-sizing FC makes a VERY, VERY good job. Comparable to Compressor.
I made few serious test about that.
Just set FC properly.

Wait a second. You’re saying your sequence is progressive, so 23.976 progressive frames per second. If broadcasters want “interlaced” material, does that mean they want a 29.97 sequence with 3:2 pulldown already in it? In that case you’d be best exporting your sequence in its native format from Final Cut (full res, 23.976 progressive) and then using something like JES Deinterlacer to do the conversion down to standard def/apply pulldown (change frame rate) appropriately. Or, if JES’s scaler isn’t good enough, use another scaler to go down to 720 x 480 and then use JES to simply add the pulldown.
I’m not sure I’m understanding the target format well enough though, so if when they’re saying “interlaced” they don’t actually mean “a 29.97 file with 3:2 pulldown from a 23.976 source) then never mind all that.

Sorry I don´t think I mentioned that this is a PAL project. -
Dave:
“Remember how nice the pictures looked?” Too long time ago for me to remember ; )
But I do remember setting the it in “draft mode” to get a progressive look…Göran

I have compared exporting SD from FC and doing it via compressor and the FC version look really bad.
I do a standard quicktime export (not quicktime conversion) and choose 10bit uncompressed. How do you get it to look good?Göran

Hi Goran,
Drop your 2K movie in an SD PAL sequence and set the codec to 10b Unc or Proress.
In Sequence Setting set “Render Motion Effects: BEST”.
This should helps with the downscaling.
I guess your footage is 10b already. If your footage is 8b, set “Render all YUV material in High Precision”

Thank´s Rafael! I will sure try this!
