HD-SD Downconvert Question
Hello.
I have some 720p footage I shot on my HVX200.
I cut a sequence in FCP using a 740 24p sequence.
Now I want to take that and make it an SD timeline, so I used my “Easy Setup” and created a DV NTSC sequence and copied and pasted it all into the new sequence, but the footage looks blocky… and the fields look odd.
I am not familiar with these terms, but hopefully it makes sense.
What can I do here?
thanks

I like to use Compressor to downconvert from HD. If I were you I’d down convert to DV50, 8-bit or 10-bit uncompressed, or ProRes if you have FCP6.
