to Progressive or not to Progressive
That is the Question!
Seriously, I have been outputing my DV media for a long time in the DV/DVCpro NTSC Format for a long time. The setting I usually use are 29.97?Quality Best. Now I have an option with QT 7 to output in Interlaced or Progressive. Is there an advantage to Outputting Progressive? I have always used Interlaced as that is what the original DV format is. Pro’s …..Con’s?
Thanks

If you’re working with standard 60i footage (29.97 FPS, interlaced), then *keep* everything interlaced. Only work with the progressive format if your source material is 24p, 25p or 30p. Even if you change it to progressive while using 60i source material, it will not convert the source to 30p (you’d need the Nattress filters for that to give good results). It’ll only change (I’m assuming, because this is the case with AE) any transforms (i.e., zooms, rotations, positions, etc.) which will be rendered as progressive instead of interlaced, which would look weird against 60i material.
