How to export interlaced footage as progressive from FCPX?

Hi


I have interlaced footage that must be exported as progressisve to be used properly elsewhere.


What settings should I use? Preferably a ProRes codec.


Should I create a progressive project and export that?

Then I guess projects is the way, though I don't see why you'd lose frames, especially if you left the selections loose. If they're going to be reprocessed then I'd definitely go with ProRes. Are you delivering this to someone? What do they want?

Whenever I use 1440x1080 footage I manually create a 1920x1080p project.


This is to ensure that the footage is always seen as 1920x1080 and doesn't have to rely on some code embedded in it to remind the player how to display it . . . . which may not work properly in future.


Furthermore I export it as an H.264 Masterfile which is comparatively small and the quality is indistinguishable from the original.


Somebody may be able to prove that ProRes would be better but we would be in the realms of splitting hairs.
