Intensity HD up-res vs FCP, others?
capturing archival from a non-controllable SD analogue source,
cutting SD in FCP (HDV captured as DV),
and our delivery format is HD.i figured i’d capture as HD, up-resing thru the intensity.
then half way thru, the capture settings were accidentally changed to SD (groan!).im after an opinion on the quality of the Intensity up-res vs other post options.
my simplest option is to just let FCP do the up-res in the timeline.
other options include media managing the edited sections, and using Instant HD,
or sending them to a post house to put thru a box.re-capturing is an option, of course.
thanks,

unexpected results!
i did a quick test, and the FCP upres is clearly better than the Intensity one.
(timeline set to best quality motion scaling)the image is sharper, plus the Intensity up-res adds a colour cast.
so that makes life a bit easier…
i’ve got Instant HD, so maybe i’ll test that when it;s all over.i’ll still be using Intensity to capture, but just to ProRres PAL
much easier to work with.thanks,
nick
