“So, if you have interlaced source and you want progressive output, you’d set Output Fields to Progressive and then choose a deinterlace method.”
This really does make perfect sense, however, the Compressor Manual says this:
Progressive:
Scanning method where each frame is complete (not divided into
fields). *Use this setting in place of the Compressor Deinterlacing filter (a legacy
filter in the Filters pane) as it will always provide much higher quality.*
So could this be saying that you just need to test for your self to see which method outputs better quality?
I have to agree that when I’ve selected Progressive instead of simply Deinterlacing, the remaining time went up to a ridiculous amount. How should that normally work?
What options do you suggest?
