    I thought this would be a no brainer, but couldn’t find it yet…

    I am setting up to edit DVCPro HD 1080 from a HVX200 on Premier Pro CS3 no update as I DVRaylight edits on clips (if you install the PPro CS3 upgrade which includes native DVCPro on the timeline you loose all your audio). So no update which should be fine for another week.

    So editng mode: Desktop
    Timebase: 29.97 for video shot at 30p – ???
    Frame Size: ??? – horizontal, ??? – Verticle
    Pixel Aspect Ration: square or DVCPro HD (1.5)
    Fields: None (Progressive)
    Display Format: 30fps Drop-Frame Timecode

    So the obvious is that I would want the Aspect to be DVCPro HD or is it…can I set up the project with square pixels and 1920×1080 for a uncompressed out to After Effects?
    What are the implications of this?

    Should I be using ??? Aspect and the DVCPro HD aspect ratio?

    Thank you in advanced for the help!!!

    Jake,
    If you setup your Project through Desktop settings (custom) you will always get the red bar to render. But…
    If you set up the Project with the square pixel aspect ratio of 1920×1080 and then have the footage interpreted to be widescreen in its own right then it won’t matter. As the footage will be coming into the timeline as stretched out to the square HD proportions. If you are working with clips that are not FullHD, and HD-2, 1280×720, you’ll need to make sure these clips are selected to fit to scale, in the timeline, right click (tick nest to it).

    AE won’t be affected by the native clip size aspect or the FullHD sq.Pixel. Always best to work with the best version, in its original format, or upres and work in bigger colour space like HDV = 4:2:0 color space, AspectHD by cineform converts that into colour space = 4:2:2, better colour grading.

    How many editors does it take to change a light bulb?
