Quality issue when exporting to compressor
Hi,
I just have this sequence with DV footage on a DV/NTSC timeline. When playing it in FCP6 the quality is good. But as soon as I export it in compressor, when playing the same sequence in the preview window, I’m getting “waving” frames.
And that is without applying any compression setting! Just open the sequence in compressor and press the preview button.
It’s like it’s showing just showing the odd (or even) lines in each frames when the image is moving. The images are complete when playing in FCP. Is there a basic compression applied automatically when opening a sequence in compressor or is there a codec not functionning correctly?Do anyone have any idea for what I can do to correct this problem? BTW, if I export the same sequence using quicktime, I don’t have this problem.
Thank You,
I’ll wait for an answer.Martin B.

Pay no attention to the playback in Compressor for a quality check… check out the compressed file on the DVD or web stream app you intend to compress to. Don’t forget you’re using a progressive scan monitor to look at interlaced video, and it’s pretty ugly in general.

Well, No matter what setting I choose in compressor for outputing (DVD,etc), The result stay the same… I had export it to a .m2v file that I have import in DVDSP and burn, it still look ugly! I still have those “scan line” problem where theres motion some kind of frame not aligning correctly. I don’t have this problem when exporting with Quicktime. And I don’t think that compressor is stupid enough to make me encode the same sequence in “progressive scan” and “interlaced” two times (or do I?) Even if I look on my MacbookPro lcd, I shouldn’t see those “waving frames”.
My point was that just by looking at the sequence without any compression setting or so applied to it in compressor 1:1, the result should be exactly the same as when viewing that sequence in FCP.
Thanks I do hope someone will find the answer on that one.

Once again, burn your DVD and judge the quality on an NTSC Monitor (TELEVISION SET).
