  ProRes 854×486 SD import (4:3 anamorphic)

  Posted by Hugue Loiselle on May 24, 2013 at 12:24 am

  Just had a clip to import in Avid 4.5

  ProRes HQ 854X486 (4:3 anamorphic)

  Works well in SD but at export with the same settings, i’m loosing quality.
  Should I work and export in HD or Work and export in SD?
  Its not a ratio Problem
  How should I import the clip?
  Don’t know if the problem is at import or export.

  Thank you

  Hugue

  The final intended destination might help you decide workflow. With the file being 16×9, I would bring it into HD project and export 16×9 rather than be confined by anamorphic … especially if this is for web/computer use so it can be progressive vs. interlaced …. I might add that I prefer to do this even if for DVD, at which point you have the option to make the DVD progressive or interlace.
