  avid dv codec with black bar along top

  Posted by Todd Morgan on September 22, 2007 at 2:07 am

  Hi all,

  Anyone experience a problem rendering to the avid dv codec from aefx? For some reason the dv codec renders my ntsc 720×486 comp with a black bar (about 5 pixels thick) along the top and a black line along the bottom. This has caused a huge problem with a video delivery as it doesn’t appear when you play the file on the computer, but appears when you pull the file back into ae, and will not play properly when laid to tape… weirdness!

  dv is 720×480; d1 is 720×486, so that may be the problem…

  try making the comp that you are rendering to dv with the dv preset (720×480), render to dv, and see how that looks when it comes back in to ae.
