ProHD for Blu-Ray Release?
Hi there --
Is ProHD footage shot in 720p of sufficient quality for BlueRay DVD? What's a good way to upscale the footage to 1080p? Can this be done with FCP or is specialized equipment needed? Cheers! |

Yes, it is good enough.
Yes, Pro-HD footage is plenty good enough for BluRay IMHO. As has been said many times before, resolution is only a small part of image quality- there is lighting, technique, editing, many, many things that go into producing a quality image.
For projects that demand the highest possible quality I edit in Edius (FCP works fine too) then I export the EDL. Then using a free After Effects plugin I found somewhere(don't remember where) I import that EDL into After Effects. I increase the bit depth to 32bit and my resolution to 2K. Then I do all my color correction, dissolves, graphics, and effects. From there you can send the whole project over to Encore and put together the BluRay. |

Since Blu-Ray can use H264 or Mpeg2 you don't even need to re-encode during the authoring process. The mpeg2 transport stream files just need to be demuxed and converted into program stream files, and it would be a good idea to convert the audio into Dolby Digital AC3.
