Dave — letterbox was the target. I re-exported with Compressor, setting the resize filter to best. The result looked great. Indeed, trial and error is sometimes best. Other times it reveals nothing and then this forum bails me out!
Thanks for chiming in.

Just wanted to circle back and offer a massive thanks to Bret on this issue. Dropping the 1080i into a 720p60 sequence is THE ONLY thing that’s worked so far. And it works like a charm. So again, my deepest thanks for your input.

[Bret Williams] “Oh, and I’d do a simple convert of that 1080i h264 footage to 1080i ProRes 422 before you do anything.”
Hah! I was just about to respond to that effect. So I obviously need to get out of h264. But if I transcode to ProRes 1080i, I can simply edit that into my 720p60 sequence? Makes sense. I’ll give it shot. Thanks.
But I confess, the tech nerd in me still wants to figure how to get the 1080i video to look good at 720p.

Forgive me if my knowledge base is limited, but by streaming are you referring to an online stream of some sort? None of this is streamed video. It’s all broadcast video.

Just had an interesting discovery. I transcoded the file using the “Apple ProRes 422 for Progressive material” preset. And the video looked good, though still 1920×1080. But using that very same preset, and only changing the size to 1280×720, produced bad video.
And that’s the hitch: I need to bring the video down from 1080 to 720.

Rafael — the 1080i video is from a live broadcast. So I can’t imagine it would be 24p.

Thanks Chris. Under frame controls>output fields, are you suggesting I keep it same as source? Or should I select progressive?
