Topic: Exporting, Deinterlacing, and Resizing Freeze Frames

Creating great-looking freeze frames from Final Cut is difficult because exported video images look stretched, often with thin horizontal lines radiating out from moving images. In this short, focused tutorial, Larry Jordan shows you the best way to export still frames from Final Cut Pro, how to improve deinterlacing quality using Photoshop, then how to resize the images so that all the proportions look correct. Along the way, he’ll also show you a better technique to resize images and provide a conversion chart so you can correctly size your images, whether your are working in NTSC, PAL, or HD.



Note: This tutorial applies to Final Cut Pro HD, 5.x, and 6.x, as well as all versions of Photoshop starting with version 5.5. This tutorial is a QuickTime movie and does not require either Final Cut Pro or Photoshop in order to view it.
