16:9 aspect ratio and animation
I am shooting a show in true anamorphic 16:9, I also have an animator working on some simple 2D stuff -what dimensions do I tell him so I can import his work into my show? I would normlly say 720×520, but does that change with the 16:9 aspect ratio?

I like to have graphics rendered to the codec and frame size that I’m finishing in. That way, I don’t have to render the material again. This works unless you need an alpha channel.
So what codec are you going to be finishing in? Let’s say it was 8-bit uncompressed in anamorphic 16:9. That frame size is 720×480 and then FCP stretches it to display as 16:9. I would have the animator render out the animation as 720×480 in the Apple 8-bit uncompressed codec. I would bring it into FCP, select the anamorphic check box in the anamorphic column in the browser, then drop it in the sequence.

Thanks Russ -that makes sense! Now, do you know how I can edit something in 6.0 on a timeline and then give it to an editor using 5.0 and still have it work?

I’ve just tried to export an XML from 6 and import it into 5, but the media isn’t reconnecting right. You might give it a shot. That’s about the only way I know of.
