[INFO] Order Queue: deinterlacing before resizing

[Selur]

Note: I assume that you would take a lossless intermediate file.

Using an intermediate file:
pro: if you are on a low-end system for what you want to do, using multiple intermediate step might be the best approach to get things done.
con: huge intermediate files; less flexibility to see whether rearranging of filters might be yield better results.

Personally, I only use intermediate files if
a. I beforehand made sure that the filter order etc. is what I want to do heavy filtering and using all these filters would take too long or eat too many resources.
b. there are clear stages in my processing, that require external tools. (i.e. needing to use a NLE to replace single frames, add animations/effects,...)
=> if you are unsure, about it, you probably should not use intermediate file in my opinion. Quality wise, there is no gain in using intermediate files.
