    Hello,
    just a dumb question or probably they are more questions in this.

    How do I obtain a very good quality movie after I did the shooting with Sony EX3, at 1080/60 in NTSC format.
    I log and captured the material and multicam edited in FCP. We exported in dv format and then we atached the sound and exported again dv.
    It looks horrible.
    Then with procoder 3 we made it avi and PAL in order to be used for tv.
    It is horrible. Horrible.
    When I see the original shooting it looks good, but the final product is horrible.

    Is better Adobe Premiere if I need avi?

    Can you indicate me some tutorials to follow the steps?

    Thanks
    Thanks

    If you shoot in HD don’t edit in DV SD. You are throwing away your resolution before you start editing.

    Edit in HD and then search this forum on HD to SD using Compressor.

    Don’t do this … by all means export a lower quality version for your sound designer, but when you have the master audio then bring that back into FCP and attach it to the full HD resolution video and export an HD master.

    Goodness, why did you shoot 60i if delivery was to be for 50i? Ah well, whatever the reason I guess its too late now. What are the exact delivery requirements? For example, is it particularly specified that you need to deliver a DV avi file?
