Hi all,
I'm getting some jaggies in my footage when I bring my HD Prores 422 conformed spots into a SD timeline and I can't figure out how to correct it.
I'm shooting on a Sony FX1 in HDV through a Redrock adapter using either nikon or Lomo lenses. I am very pleased with the images that I'm getting and Here is my current workflow: Capture directly from tape to prores 422. Edit in a Prores 422 timeline on FCP. At this point my images look great and I'm happy with everything. I export my timeline as prores 422 self contained movie and bring that movie into a SD timeline to export for air on local television. The quality of the image in the SD timeline looks quite jaggy. Nothing terrible, but I notice. My framerate stays 60I throughout the entire process. The SD timeline is using a Blackmagic 8bit uncompressed codec.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be really appreciated.

thanks
Kevin

With stills the jaggie effect is not evident, only when the camera moves or there is movement in frame do the jaggies appear . So, that leads me to think it's some kind of interlacing problem or frame rate thing. Thoughts?
