    Working in Media 100i and I have a 720 clip that needs to go into a 640 timeline. I’ve been trying different ways to export it and bringing it back in but I always end up with strobing (due to I suppose the difference between the 720 and 640). Any suggestions on how to do this? Never have had to go backwards before.
    And since I am asking – what if I wanted to go 640 to 720.

    Thanks in advance.

    Bring your 720 clip into a 640 x 480 program in After Effects, and position your clip down one pixel. You may need to squeeze it horizontally slightly, but don’t do any vertical scaling.
    Render it out as a Media 100 640 x 480 movie, and you are set.

    fyi, Media 100’s new line can Mix 640 and 720. Producer et al is native 720 and scales the 640 to fit a 720 frame (and leaves 3 black lines at the top and bottom of the frame). You would still need to do the AE trick if you’re sending such a hybrid timeline to AE.
