interlace or progressive in quicktime (via frame splicer)
Hey! I’m a student at the School of Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and I’m making my 2nd stop-motion film using a digital still camera. I absolutely love the look and feel of the first film, but I want to improve the quality of the second. What I’m wondering is this: When compiling individual shots into quicktimes (via frame thief’s frame splicer), should I use the Interlace or Progressive scan? I’m pretty sure I used Interlace for the first one, which I’m thinking might account for some of the lines I see when it’s projected. ultimately, I will transfer the film to mini dv; I only just want it to project as cleanly (and as large) as possible.
Note: This is my process: The film is shot as individual stills on a kodak dsc – then transferred to mac via image capture – then sized and saved as tiffs using photoshop image processor on adobe bridge – then compiled into quicktimes via frame splicer – finally edited in final cut pro (with sound in pro tools).
Any advice would be so great!
thanks!

Do it Progressive. And why are you going to Mini-DV? Why not keep it as a digital file until you need it in a certain format? You could put it out to DVD or BlueRay and it will stay progressive.

I’m with Ed. Keep it progressive. Keep it in as good quality a format as is practical for your computer to handle. That will open up more options for you down the road. BTW, you can use Quicktime Pro to stitch the image sequences together.
