    Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 SD field issue

    Posted by Joao Rodrigues on July 29, 2012 at 3:15 pm

    Hi Everybody,

    Does anyone could me help with the following issue.
    I’m shooting in about 5 different HDs codec but my end copy will be analog Betacam, a already tested a lot of different down conversions log and transfer to SD compressor to SD, BlackMagic realtime hardware downconversion it is the best result but I loose some resolution, all others downconversions the fields like dominance inverted. what workflow do you suggest to get best downconversion for Betacam SP?

    Thanks

    SD is never gonna look as good.
    Your best bet I think, is to edit in HD and use the bmd card to feed the beta with a down convert.

    [Joao Rodrigues] ” all others downconversions the fields like dominance inverted.”
    I guess you are mastering in Prores.
    Remember that If you are in PAL land your master must be Upper first.
    Lower first for NTSC land.

    Edit in HD ProRes..

    Convert HD ProRes to SD ProRes in Compressor ( SET RESIZE FILTER TO BEST )

    Dump to Betacam from FCP
