Compressor comes with a variety of filters (such as
deinterlacing and noise removal) that you can use to
adjust the details of your transcoding projects.

Working With Filters
Because the characteristics of broadcast video differ significantly from the characteristics
of video played back on computers, it is sometimes necessary to modify the visual
quality of the source media so that it looks acceptable during multimedia playback.
You can treat your source media file with a variety of filters before you transcode it to help
improve the output quality of your video. The best way to assign these filter settings is to
look at your source media file and choose the most suitable one based on its content.
