Yeah. The resize quality in AME is shocking too sadly. Blurry as you like. I’m doing everything I can in Compressor.

Thanks for the welcome, Ty.
Everyone on this thread has been really helpful.

I do feel embarrassed that I’m quibbling over the quality of such a low end product. It’s just I have to buy 50 for tutors to record lectures in their offices and I don’t have money for Sennheiser or anything of that calibur. I’m trying to use science to pick the best from a bad bunch 🙂

I went for a set of MS LifeChat LX-3000 to try. Fingers crossed.

Thanks again!

No, Dave. I haven’t looked at the non-interlaced footage on a video monitor.
Please don’t overemphasise. It makes me cry 🙂

The final output is to be played on a monitor using Quicktime. How is the FCP monitor or an external progressive monitor going to differ from, say, PVP or Quicktime player?

Heya Michael
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I’m afraid that wouldn’t have worked in my situation.

That COW link I posted above described the right way for me. I went from DV-PAL to 1080p in a few mouse clicks. Amazing. There are subtle differences between the SD and HD comps which I’ll report back on when I can.

Argh. One last thing:
I have 3D camera paths. As soon as I collapse the transformations, the camera work is ignored. Any way to preserve this?

Great. So if I nest a comp at 200% and click the collapse transformations switch then the vectors and text (obviously not video) will be rendered as if they were all placed on the final comp at 200% size individually, i.e. not pixellated?

Thanks Dave
It’s set up as an anamorphic comp at the moment.

I agree with you – I’d much rather do the upscaling pre-render. Something like what Walter is suggesting I think.

Cheers guys.

Sorry Rich, by screen capture I meant video capture so I don’t think PDF would be suitable.
MPEG-1 doesn’t give you any frame size options in Compressor though, just a Web/DVD option.

Are there any free codecs that give flexibility or is this the nature of the MPEG-1 format?

Thanks for your help

Try fiddling with the gamma and exposure in Image > Adjustments > Exposure

For upscaling images, I’d recommend Genuine Fractals

I don’t think that would help you much though, to be honest.

Good luck!
