Progressive vs. Interlaced
Posted: Sat May 07, 2011 3:16 pm
First off, I've been using Neat Video for several months now on interlaced footage. Results have been very good.
Last month, I started cutting my AVCHD footage on a progressive timeline in FCP. The workflow involves transcoding the footage to Pro Res and then putting the clips onto a progressive timeline (or into a progressive sequence). My understanding is that this returns the footage to the 30p original that the sensor of my two cameras (the Sony Nex-5 and the Sony HXR-50U) capture in. It is the AVCHD container that is interlaced. That's my understanding, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, I'm wondering whether I should make any changes in the Neat Video product setup now that I've changed the way I'm handling the footage. There is an old thread on this from 2009, but I can figure out how to make the selection in the plug-in from interlaced to progressive. Perhaps a software update has made that unnecessary.
Please advise me how I can make the necessary change if it is warranted.
Thanks!
