  Mixing footage

  Posted by Anthony Faulkner on November 25, 2009 at 8:30 am

  Hi

  I have some footage shot on a PD-170 and footage shot on a EX-3 (1080p30) I have to combine them in the same project.

  My output is going to be 720×480 or 540. for the web.

  What are my best sequence settings and how should i change the footage of each to match?

  thanks for any advice!

  Hi Anthony,
  Drop everything in DV NTSC (720×480, Lower first) sequence and change the codec to Prores.
  If the PD-170 is Anamorphic, make the sequence Anamorphic.
  Before rendering/exporting, set “Render in High Precision” and “Motion Rendering: BEST”.

  Bring them both in as ProRes then edit, then just export to Compressor to make your web stream.
