thanks for taking the time to respond, rafael. it’s good to know that progressive footage wont cause any probelms when being mixed with interlaced video and exported to digibeta..

i chose 1024×576 because it was supposed to be shown on the website. the other reason for preferring it over anamorphic is that anamorphic is a pain to work with, no quality will be lost when transferring this project to digibeta, you just gotta nest the sequence in a 720×576 project.

i’m still unsure about these two things:
1. When I resize interlaced pal footage to HD the interlaced lines are resized as well right? do de-interlace filter still work correctly then? even if i keyframe the scale?

2. when i appy a de-interlacer like jes de-interlacer on a mixed footage (i,p that is) will the de-interlacer falsely de-interlace the progressive footage?

well, i guess i make it more complicated then it is, right? maybe i just have to tell the client that i have to convert and prepare the footage first before editing… 😉
