I've got a question I'm hoping someone here might be able to answer...
I'm a FCPx user, but interested in the process of upscaling SD vx footage in Premiere Pro/FCPx/Compressor/etc... whatever will make it work.
I'm including an example of a crispy 720p vx upload as well as one of my own if you want to see the difference I'm talking about, although I'm sure you know what I mean if you're here.

My question is essentially how to achieve the 720p vx footage. Methods I've tried include:
1) creating a project in native SD dimensions (NTSC for me - so 640x480) and exporting as 960x720 (to preserve aspect ratio)
2) creating a custom project with 960x720 (rec.601 audio and 29.97 frame rate) and exporting that
3) taking a native 640x480 project, exporting natively, and then upscaling with Compressor/Media Encoder
If you have any experience doing this and maybe I'm missing something obvious, I'd sure love the help.
