[Zakaree Sandberg]

What are you export settings? generally?

I am messing with software scaling.. theres a few options.. have no idea what they do..

good question. I'd also like to know what the workflow and compression was for the recent recon epic mpeg4 footage. it looked very good.

Any kind of scaling is a compromise between softness and aliasing. So, these algorithms are sorted by where they lean. It's near impossible to suggest the "right" one, since that depends on the scene (like natural objects vs. technical or architectural), contrast, sharpness of your lens, final delivery and last, but not least, personal taste.

Start in the middle (I think Mitchell is the default) and play with the others. The differences are subtle at times, but can be obvious with tack sharp scenes with lots of straight, well-defined edges.

BTW, all of these algorithms are nothing exotic or proprietary to RED, you can find them on wikipedia or any good university library for computer science.
