  Newbie needs to mix 24p letterbox with 4:3 NTSC

  Posted by James Mulryan on January 23, 2006 at 12:04 am

  Newbie seeks help with two different formats:

  DV 24P Letterbox shot on a Panasonic DVX 100
  90 percent of my footage is in this format.

  DV regular no letterbox shot on a cheapo Sony
  10 percent of my footage is in this format

  Still images, not imported yet, jpegs, plan to run through After Effects for motion control zooms and pans.
  End product 5 minute promo output to dvd in 16:9 format 24P

  Should I digitize all of the 24 p material using 24p settings and create a 24 p timeline and render out regular DV material for pulldown and letterbox effects?

  If so can you please tell me how to convert the regular dv to 24P wide screen.
  Also awhat settings to use with After Effects for the JPEGS.
  Thank You.

  The DVX-100 shoots letterboxed, not true 16×9, so all you need to do is add the other footage and letterbox it. And 24p is still edited at 29.97 fps, so mixing them shouldn’t be a problem. 24PA is 23.98, but regular old 24P is 29.97…so easliy mixable with your other footage.
