HD & SD footage in the same timeline?
Hi All,
How does FCP handle HD and SD footage in the same timeline, specifically using SD footage in an HD timeline?
Is it workable? Are there any gripes?Thanks,
Dom.

Of course there’s gonna be gripes. Your footage needs to be drastically scaled up. Try Resizer for decent results. You may want to downconvert instead of upconvert.

I uprez SD footage to HD quite a bit. Just throw it in your timeline and scale it up to 199, then use the De-Interlace filter and set it to medium. It doesn’t look great but if the SD footage was shot well you can get away with it. If you have more SD footage than HD it’s probably best to down rez the HD, but if you have to output on HD, this is the only way I know of.
