Shot on 1440x1080i 60 HDV, final will be on web and DVD...should I leave it interlaced or de interalce it? Good for web but will that mess up the DVD version if played on sets as opposed to computers?
Is it better to add a de-interlace filter to every shot in timeline, or to nest an entire sequence and add it to that or add de-interalce in Compressor?

Thanks
I'm first making a self-contained QT using Apple Pro res HQ 1440 seq out of FCP 6, then into Compressor...sound correct?
So if the HDV seq is upper, what does one choose in Compressor filter - Sharp, blur, even or odd? Any benefit to making my FCP timeline NONE as opposed to upper in the first place?

Kent,
That is the correct workflow, in the Inspector you have a field dominance setting, you should chose upper, but I think Compressor will do that automatically. Get to know the inspector, it is very powerful.
No benifit to setting FCP to none, on the contrary, it can reduce resolution. Don't know why you would need any filters in Compressor, if you got the look you wanted in FCP.

Thanks Chris
What I meant was could I just use NONE in FCP and not have to use de-interlace at all in Compressor? If I do go to Compressor from FCP (and using UPPER in FCP seq), once in Compressor should I use even, odd, sharp or blur under de-interlace?

Kent,
Selecting "none" in FCP is not gonna buy you anything, it could hurt it. I would select upper, or even, which is the same thing. But if you just use the 90 min. High quality setting in compressor, and look in the inspector, you will see Compressor made some choices for you, usually correct.
