[Frameworks] Super 8 digitized and flagged at avi.18fps

[D Dawson]

Hi Kevin,

I would use ProRES HQ.   Although the source material is in DV, you will
find, surprisingly enough, that although ProRES can¹t ³improve² the image
that is already there, it actually does make the image look better,  by not
requiring it to be compressed over and over and over again on all your steps
­ thus not having a soft image throughout all your steps.   Alternatively I
would convert it to uncompressed if you¹d rather, SD files are pretty small,
so uncompressed might be your best bet.

Either PRORES or Uncompressed will let you edit natively then export to
whatever you¹d like.  The benefit with going to one of these is that any
effects you add (cropping, colour correction) will be applied using a less
lossey codec and improve the way the correction is applied to the image.

Good luck,


Deco
