Have you look that clip on broadcast monitor, from another editing software FCP7 6 or PP or Avid.
Is there the same problem when you watching that on broadcast monitor?
If is the same on broadcast monitor that is the how the FCPX processing the picture.
Apple didn’t make broadcast out for FCPX so I am thinking did they check it at all.

November 28, 2011 at 9:45 am in reply to: best method for downscaling from hd to sd

Downscaling in FCPX is not that good as in FCP 7.

Maybe is sharper but there is much more jigsaw edges than in any other way of downscaling.

I am working 2 TV shows shoot in HD and I tested all methods, software and hardware.

MPEG Streamclip is maybe closest to hardware downscaling.
Compressor is also good but you have to change frame controls and they are different from clip to clip.
And Shake of Corse but who is using Shake today?

I’m little bit disappointed that Apple didn’t do the same thing with FCPX.

I like to do it all in one peace of software and for that FCP 7 is great tool.
All titles, CC, downscaling etc.

I don’t think that apple will change any thing in that segment of FCPX.
That makes me sad because sometimes you have to cut every thing in SD.

So my workflow for good downscaling results in FCPX will be like this

FCPX
Just cut in HD than export to HD (export number 1)
Downscale it MPEG Streamclip export to SD (export number 2)
Finish it in FCPX titles etc. (in may case all graphic is in SD, jingle etc.) final export to SD (export number 3)

File number one HD ProRes
File number two SD ProRes
Final SD ProRes

FCP7
Create SD sequence.
Cut, put the entire graphic, color correct, export.

So many steps in FCPX just to avoid that horrible jigsaw edges.

Thanks,

for answering my question.

You solved my dilemma.

We use slate a lot, but on ENG shooting some times there is no time for slate.
I tried to make syncing two shoots faster (with using free run on ex1) but its clear that it can not be done in that way with EX1.

Thank you again!
