  • HD into 3:4 Uncompressed 8 Bit

    Hey all, can someone give me advice on how to convert HD footage into 3:4 Uncompressed 8 bit, so there’s a letterbox and the picture is not stretched? We need this for broadcast TV.

    Thanks a lot!

    Probably the best way is to dub the footage from the HD deck to an SD deck like digi beta, DVCAM or DVCPro50 etc. But if you have a finished piece then compressor can do the work for you, or drop the sequence into an SD sequence and let FCP do the render.
