  HDV capture

  Posted by Cecil Glenn on March 28, 2008 at 8:27 am

  I am in the process of cutting a television commercial. Some of the footage was shot in HDV. I captured the footage using the HDV1080i60 codec. Everything went fine. When I changed the settings bac to DV NTSC the footage is distorted. How do I get the clips to work right?

  Are you cutting a 16:9 commercial or 4:3? The HDV footage is 16:9 and if you are trying to make it into 16:9 DV NTSC you need to use a DV NTSC anamorphic sequence to maintain the aspect ratio. Or just crop the edges of the HDV footage in a 4:3 DV NTSC sequence.
