Thanks for the reply.
OK, it might be a field issue but it has been shot AND edited as interlaced. is there no way to keep that interlacing?
this edit came straight out of fcp. so there’s no ‘interpret footage’ there. media encoder also doesn’t have the option, which could be of use to an encode program i think. so if i need to interpret it by premiere pro as progressive i’ll add another step to my workflow and i’m losing my fields as well. don’t get me wrong: it IS already a solution i didn’t come up with but i’d like the best way to do this, since we will keep this way of working for the next few years.
i didn’t find any threads about media encoder not being able to downscale in a proper way, does anyone have this problem besides us?
