I know many stations are still broadcasting in 1080i, but are people still shooting interlaced?
99.9% of what I shoot these days goes straight to the web, so I'm always shooting progressive, a lot of 24p (23.98), but often 30p (29.97) & some 60p (59.98).
I feel when I have put my progressive content into an interlaced stream it has always looked great. But shooting interlaced & going to the web, looks horrible unless you de-interlace (which loses some image detail). So I've been of the opinion that I'll always shoot progressive so things look good for web / digital, and if I need to transcode to interlaced I can do so.
Though I've had a discussion lately where I've heard that if I want my footage to be broadcast is HAS to be shot interlaced. If I shoot progressive & convert to interlaced the footage will be rejected.
Anyone else have some experience with this?
