  Graphics, Resolution, Pixel Aspect Ratio

  Posted by Iann Mcgill on April 2, 2007 at 6:31 pm

  Okay… I am not sure where this message belongs, so if you can point me in the right direction that would be great!

  I create an animation in After Effects, Resolution “Best”. Import that into Avid at 2:1, lower field first, everything looks great. Then when going to Adobe Encore to create a DVD, if all of the footage in my sequence hasn’t been up res-ed to 2:1 then it seems to distort the area’s where my graphics are. It almost looks like it compresses the screen alittle bit. We use Sorenson squeeze to encode our video into an .mpv format. Any solutions? Does all the video need to be at the exact same resolution? Is there something I’m doing incorrectly in AE, Encore, Sorenson Squeeze or Avid?

  Thank you for your help!

  do a video mixdown of your entire sequence then export it.
  I know. what a bummer.

  Avid is 720×486, DVD’s 720×480. I’ve had issues with this before too, can you crop in Sorenson to 720×480? That way nothing will be squished down or moved.
