So I shot my music video 24p, and imported into FCP 5.1.4. Its getting close to the final edit and I need to export it.
When I export to quicktime with the default quicktime settings (DV-NTSC) the footage looks fine but its slightly downgraded in resolution it seems.
Now, taking this quicktime export and further exporting it but using h.264 at the same size causes the footage to look crisp and sharp, but with a noticeable strobe effect. I know that the strobing can be simpy because of fast movement with the camera, especially in 24 and with higher shutter speeds, but in DV-NTSC there is no strobing, so I feel that this has something to do with the different codec.
Does anyone have a better way of simply exporting the quicktime (720x480) from FCP, keeping the sharp resolution of the h.264 but without the strobing?
