downconvert from 720p to NTSC DV question
by Nelson May (nelsonmay10) on Aug 15, 2008 at 4:14:50 am

I shot last week in 720p and I down converted to NTSC. Everything looked good except there was a section of the subjects shirt that looked like it had zebra stripes you would see for over exposure. Anyway that is the best way to describe it. Was that from me going from Progressive to interlaced during the downrezzZ?

Any tips will help. I am getting more clients that want dailies on DVD, at least until blue ray gets cheaper.
I will post a shot if anyone needs me to.

[Nelson May] "Was that from me going from Progressive to interlaced during the downrezzZ?"

Do you want your final output to be interlaced? Because by default when you down convert your footage to DV NTSC the clip will be taged as interlaced in the Browser window even if you've used something like Compressor to to go from 720p to a prgressive down converted DV NTSC clip.

You can change the field order tag for that particular clip right in the Browser by right or control clicking in the Field Dominance column and choosing "none" from the pop-up menu.
