    4:3 SD to 2K for film out, and 16:9 SD to 2K for film out

    Posted by Nikhil Kamkolkar on October 24, 2006 at 10:02 pm

    Hi,

    I have a 24P trailer in standard def resolution in FCP, that I want to bring into AE and output a 2K sequence for film out.

    My question is how do I setup in AE for the following two situations –

    1. Bring 4:3 SD 24FPS quicktime video into AE and output 2K files

    2. Bring 16:9 SD 24FPS quicktime video into AE and output 2K files for ANAMORPHIC (2.40) film out

    I understand there is significant loss of resolution inherant in both of these…

    Thanks!
    Nikhil

    Hi I can give you some advice about the first one, 720X486 SD fits into 2K 2048X1556 square pixels almost perfectly so it is really just a matter of creating a square pixel comp at 2048X1556, bringing in your movie, and hitting ‘option command F’ to fit it to the comp size. Apply the Cineon Converter and Choose Lin to Log leaving all other properties at their defaults. Save out as a cineon sequence. You project must be set to 16 bit.

    AE doesn’t up rez very well though. If you want to improve the quality at 2K you could batch them in Photoshop or Shake both of which have better uprezing algorithms than AE.

    Hope this helps
    Pete
