Thanks, Chris and John. I’m a motion newbie but I’ll check it out. I guess I’ll need to export it rather than work in FCP. I just heard about “vapor” from digieffects which does water effects – clouds, fog, etc.. It’s only $100 and it sounds like I can work in FCP with it. Has anyone used it? Thanks again.

Thanks for your response. I guess I was mostly wondering what is better to convert to a 1080p working space – a progressive image shot at a lower resolution (720p) or interlaced at higher rez (1080i). Just wondering which one will convert best to that environment.
Thanks,
Oscar

Final format will be back to HDCAM, I suppose a 23.98 1080p master as well as other HDCAM dupes for film festivals – not sure exactly what format on those.

The movie will be about 80 percent the digitized super 16 in 1080 and 20 percent converted video (from either 1080i or 720p).

Thanks.
