Okay, sorry, it’s been frenzied here. So I am working w/ HDV in an FCP sequence set for HDV 1080i60. which honestly looks a little artifacty already. I was not around during import and original editing.
I am trying to compress to SD (like NTSC DV) and have used Compressor to a QT w/ dv/dvcpro ntsc codec,apple intermediate codec and even photojpeg @ 720 x 480, square pixels and NTSC. All of them look super chunky and seem blurred when i add ade-interlace filter in QT pro!!
I need it to run smoothly with an app called Isadora on a Mac mini, which from experience has trouble handling big video files. Will be projected on a Hitachi CP X444 – LCD projector native res: 1024 x 768. My current work around is to output to H.264 codec but much file smaller size?? Any thoughts?
