[Tapio Haaja] “Actually FCPX does fairly decent job in HD>SD and SD>HD scaling. It might be little bit soft to someones eyes but it’s much better than having all kind of aliasing and moire problems.

Anyway to your topic. There’s really no magic way achieving great quality from 360p to 1080p. With this big scaling you can and should add sharpening to your material after scaling. Depending what kind of material you have you might benefit using Neat Video’s excellent noise reduction tool. Sadly at the moment it only works in Motion and not in FCPX.”

As much as I’m happy with the new 10.0.3 update of the FCPX, I’m still upset with the lack of compatible filters.
But that’s not a problem in this case cause I also have Motion 5, so I’ll probably buy Neat Video’s tool, I’ve been hearing much about it.

I have 2 files now: One ProRes and one Uncompressed 10-bit. I’ll try on in FCPX and compare all the files. I am yet to find a good combination setting of anti-aliasing and detail numbers.

Thank you for the tip.

Ah yes, the famous CSI enhance-all filter.

From the first output file (specs written above) the quality wasn’t bad. In fact, it’s completely usable. But I’m wondering if someone knows any other tweaks? Like anti-aliasing?
Also would it be better to choose an uncompressed format? 10-bit 422?
