Question about High Quality and De-interlace settings in Quicktime Pro.
I have to deliver a 5 minute FCP Anamorphic DV project on a data DVD and I exported using current settings. It looked really bad till scouring the threads here, I discovered that I needed to set the Visual Settings to High Quality in Quick Time Pro. I now have the preferences set to “use high quality when Who knew??
Now that it looks good and even better deinterlaced, my question, is :
Does it make sense to put the file on a DVD and also put reference files for Deinterlaced and non-High Quality versions so the client doesn’t have to have QT Pro to mess with these settings?Or are these settings only for my computer and not actually affiliated with the file on a clients computer?

They are for playback for QT Pro. They don’t actually alter the clip. Only how it displays on a computer monitor.

You can save as deinterlaced in Quicktime Pro using Show Movie Properties (CMD+J). There are several other functions such as resize or add mask. If you are exporting so your client can import to edit or encode, you should not alter the movie. If you exported from FCP using current settings and did not choose re compress all frames then you have the same quality as your project. Having said that, I have a client that has requested deinterlaced movies for Flash encoding (I guess the encoder that comes with Flash doesn’t deinterlace or they don’t know how to evoke it). I save an alternate version for them that is deinterlaced.
