Please let me know why when I rescale a clip to a smaller frame size within the 720 x 480 canvas it appears as if the image interlacing is shifted? on tight deadline and not finding info in manual about this.. thx for any responses+
 
What NLE are you using, and why are you scaling down?

If you are working with interlaced footage, you are seeing two different moments of time every time you examine a frame. A good NLE will execute the scaling on a field-basis, not a frame-basis. It may look strange in your Preview, but will probably look fine on a TV. Try it out.
 
If you rescale a clip in Premiere its going to look kind of weird and distorted, render it out and see what happens

I am working with three screens in one field. it was easier than using three full res channels with 3 projectors for an installation. so i cheated, and resized and put them side by side. the original footage appears much cleaner, when the windows were scaled down to 32% they degraded. it shouldnt, it shouldnt matter if i were resizing to create motion or animate the image.

I'm editing in FCP6.03, shot 24p adv.. using dvx-100a
