Apple just released an update to the ProApps. Anyone dares to install it to see if that bug is fixed?

The idea behind delivering on Digibeta is because the Aarilaser transfer has its own way of upscaling images from 720 wide to 1900 (roughly). And it does the deinterlacing during the process.
Now maybe it’s possible that fieldskit – which I’m about to test – does a better job. In that case yes it would make sense to give the lab a sequence of images. I’ll find out today, I’ll call the lab.

Thanks Keith,
Thing is, I don’t want to de-interlace in AE, but I want the non-interlaced footage to stay that way. For instance, I have a Tif file in my comp, and I “zoom” into it, then it moves sideways to reveal a Quicktime (interlaced) underneath. The Quicktime is interpreted as “Off”, the rendering is to “Upper field first” and what happens is that AE gives me 50 fields per second. That’s logical. But when I’ll transfer back to film, it will look like this:

Where what I want is each field to be identical – when it was originally a graphics. Should I use Fieldskit or something similar and deinterlace nicely everything first?
I can’t seem to find a solution.

Actually, I was wondering the same thing. I read somewhere that Xpress deals with HD wit 8bit quality whereas MC does it at 10bits. It could be with a Mojo though, but I don’t remember where I read that…
