I did a three camera shoot with all the cameras set to 1080p and will be outputting to 720p. I would like to fix some shots, (mostly tighting by scaling) if possible, but not sure how to properly set up the sequences for scaling without losing quality. I haven't started yet but this is the process I am thinking.
Create a 720p source sequence.
Scale down the source sequence from the effects panel to 67%
Create a 720p Multicam Destination sequence
Nest the source sequence into the Multicam Destination sequence.
While editing the multicam sequence when I find a spot that I want to tighten go back to the source sequence and scale up but keep it under 100%
or this
create a 1080p source sequence
creae a 720p multicam sequence
nest the 1080 sequence into the 720 sequence and scale down with the effects panel
during editing scale up inside the multicam sequence (staying under 100%) where I want to make adjustments.
I know the best method is to frame properly during recording but unfortunately it didn't work out that way.
I would think keeping my scaling under 100% would prevent loss of resolution but maybe I am wrong.
Is there a better method of doing this or is it not possible to nest and scale multicam footage without losing resolution?
