Most of what I cut is for web and display on a computer screen from cd.
I shot a web spot in 24p - client liked enough to want it redone for broadcast
wanted to double check new sequence settings with people who deal with this more often than I do
source footage is 1280x720p xdcam ex
cable company says:
We will accept AVI, MPEG-2 or MOV files only.
Resolution: 720 X 480
sequence settings:
720x480 (NTSC DV)
Pixel Aspect: NTSC CCIR 601 DV
Field Dominance: Lower
Timebase: 29.97
I planned on rebuilding the spot using ProRes and outputting thru compressor. Here's where I start getting muddled...
mov is container, not a codec - which codec the most common when uploading to a cable company in major market (yes, I'll call to confirm, but don;t want to sound like a complete moron - also - don't want to use DV and compress it that much)
Last bonehead question (for tonight anyway)
I'm always DE-interlacing stuff so it works in my progressive projects - when going in the other direction - do I have to add interlacing at some point?Does that happen in compressor?
Thanks in advance
