Thanks Nick, I’ll see if can find out more info from the guys I’m delivering to. I think I probably will go down the cutting in 25p path as it seems to make the most sense from what you said.

thanks so much for this Vince, really appreciate it. i’ve tried slightly similar techniques but not with the results you’ve got.

And you’ve included the project file too, you’re a legend!

For those who may stumble upon this thread…

I have since decided after many, many tests, that for the moment my best workflow when downscaling is using Compressor (using frame controls of course!)

It’s a shame that it takes such a ridiculous amount of time, but seems to yield the best results for my workflow.

I’ve just tried out LANCZOS scaling in Motion, however it seems a bit messy as I couldn’t figure out an easy way to scale down my 1920×1080 footage to PAL 720×576 (16:9) so it was precise. I just had to change the project settings then drag the slider and reposition the image to sit inside the frame.

Is there something I’m missing?

thanks for info. Haven’t been able to get me hands on shake so I’ll give this a shot. After reading some other posts I found using AE and applying a small amount of Gaussian blur before down scaling quite effective, as long as you add a sharp mask on the newly created files.

I’ll let you know how i go.

thanks

Thanks Rafael,

I’ll see if I can locate a copy somewhere…

Out of interest does anyone use Motion for down conversion with good results?

Thanks for the info Eric. Unfortunately I don’t access to a PC, but I’m interested to check out this workflow for future reference.

Thanks for your response Tony, I’ll give the nesting idea a go.

If i can get by without resizing all the images it would save me a heap of time!

Cheers,
