David - you are correct about graphic text - best to leave that off during this conversion. However for the motion compensation on Alchemist, you'd be surprised. With the version I have (Grass Valley xFile Client / Alchemist File v4) these conversions are almost completely artifact free. I did an entire season of Belgravia and War Of The Worlds for Epix - full episodes that were progressive, sure, but converting from 25p to 23.976p and they were spotless. Before I saw this, I could not have been convinced that motion compensated conversion like this would work, and every consult I said slow it down and pitch-correct.

My experience of "Motion Compensated" Alchemist conversions is that you will be guaranteed to have artifacts, certainly if the video includes any text/graphics or images that rotate (e.g. the wheels on a car). Obviously, you can switch the Motion Compensation off, but for a conversion to progressive output like this you'll just be stuck with frame blending instead.Cheers,DavidOn Thu, 14 Apr 2022 at 09:33, Tony Quinsee-Jover <tony@hdheaven.co.uk> wrote:If you want the best results, guaranteed to be artifact free, then this is definitely the best route. It makes for an easy workflow too - you only do the one conversion when everything is finished.
