Extremly short interlaced story (EU 2014)

# Don't interlace me

## HD case 1 < do not!
- a. shoot in 50i
- b. edit, backup in 50i
- c. transmit in 50i
- d. 99.99% chance is that HOME TV is the kind that will have to do some sort of
DEINTERLACING, since we are talking about PROGRESSIVE screens.
- e. Will you post the copy on the web interlaced as well?

## HD case 2 < do yes!
- a. shoot in 25p or 50p (25p should cover 95% of any regular boring broadcast, drama, film-like stuff, documentary, etc)
- b. edit, backup in 25/50p
- c. transmit in 50i, since for some reason this is a broadcast stream format at this point in time. (25p should fit nicely here, while for 50p>50i you will have to do some thinkering (oh no!!!))
- e. Post on web as 25p or 50p or 50p>25p (another point of thinkering, do I
want some artifical motion-blur here?).

The End.

Do "we" agree, if not, why not? Anything to add/remove? (as short as possible)

There's a chance you'll get perceptively better temporal resolution with 50i.

- record in the highest -i resolution
- do a smart deinterlace (qtgmc) with the untouched source
- encode with everyones favourite codec (x264)

Now you have both the high fps and high resolution.

Depending on camera you might get better initial quality (just a guess based on the idea that a camera has limited processing power).

Depending on receiving equiptment (crt TVs) interlaced will produce less problems than playback on computers too and you have no need to deinterlace manually.
