H1 footage encoded from premiere question.
 

Hi all,

I recorded some footage on a H1 in 60i HD (HDV). Used Premiere CS3 preset HDV 1080i 30 (60i) to capture it.


Capture question...

1. Should i buy cineform aspect or prospect HD to convert it before editing in premiere CS3?


Adobe media encoder questions...

2. Should i deinterlace the footage first by selecting "Deinterlace" in the from the output tab?

I was reading some adobe livedocs info that its a good idea to do so, even though canon says their 60i, 30f, 24f is as good as progressive.


3. should i choose "HDTV 1080i 29.97 High Quality" or "1440 x1080i 29.97 High Quality"?

The H1 captured output from tape is 1440x1080i. The encoder HDTV preset outputs 1920x1080, the other preset obviously outputs 1440x1080.
