Thanks Gary, for your response.

I guess that’s another route. I found Color easier to tweak.
And – isn’t it good to get out of HDV as quickly as possible for any post processing?

also, to avoid the strange moire / banding in the white at the end. The final picture has a lot of white that unfortunately needs to be evened out and beefed up. Outputting to anything less than uncompressed from Color resulted in the banding, even with slight noise added.

hi, just another question, to be sure,
since ive seen some different opinions regarding settings on the forum.

In the first step, if I apply the Nattress deinterlace filter, then do I export to Prores 25p or keep it 50i until the very end when i send to compressor for h264 or photo-jpeg?

the end product is a ca. 4meter wall projection from the computer.

low budget and low fi production, long render times.

thanks again in advance for any feedback!

(perhaps this should be in the FCP basics forum, but since i have so many steps, maybe its ok to be here as well?)
