workflow from Vegas to AE with 24pa
Greetings,
I have searched and read many posts, but need a little affirmation, or direction on workflow. I feel like I am drowning in numbers. Either that or I have numbers but no knowledge to go with it. Help!
I want to work on a 24p timeline that I am coming from Vegas. I have a few shots that I want to add some effect to, but I am confused on the best workflow. In the past I have been assembling the timeline in Vegas, the rendering out just the portion with the effect, bringing that clip into AE and fixing the clip, rendering out, and then bring that clip back into Vegas.
Am I even right in my work flow? I know that I get confused as far as what setting I should render out from Vegas for AE, and then what setting I should render back out from AE to go to Vegas. I usually use standard NTSC DV, .avi, but now that I am starting to work with 24pa, I am not sure if I should remove a pull down first, or let AE do it, what since Vegas does not capture 24pa as 24p.
Can anyone confirm my workflow as right or wrong, tell me something better, or point me in the right direction for settings? I am not even sure that I am setting up the composition correctly.
Life preserver anyone? glug…glug…

Dave,
Thanks! This is exact the kind of answer I was looking for. It would be the “NTSC DV Widescreen/23.976” preset, and D1/DV NTSC Widescreen Pixel aspect ratio correct? It comes off looking a little squished. Is this because even though I filmed in 16×9, on DV 24pa, its still real 720×480, with some of the being stretched? I don’t think I said that right, but I what I thought was true is the 16×9, and 4×3 DV is still 720×480.
Am I correct? Kinda?Thanks,
