    [Lisa Koza] “Here is a little clip. This was done with dropping my HDV footage right into an SD sequence.”

    But it’s recompressed to h264.

    You need to upload a few seconds of full resolution/codec footage. Did you read that other thread at all? It’s like deja vu.

    oh crap, sent the wrong one. I need a vodka, and fast. I’m so sorry.

    No worries. Just zip a few seconds of a full codec file.

    I’ll take a gin and tonic, please.

    ok, now you have to do me a favor. upload 2 seconds of raw footage.

    Make a new sequence, drop an HD clip in to it from your Browser, hit yes when FCp asks if you want to accept the sequence settings, then export 2 seconds of it. Zip it, then upload.

    Are you trying to make a ProRes or DV movie? Did you try using Compressor yet?

    It was a 4 cam shoot, all HDV Sony’s however. This is from just one cam.

    OK. That cli is definitely straight up 1080i.

    This is what you need to do. In your HD sequence, make sure the sequence is set to Upper Field First.

    Render.

    Export a reference movie (File > Export > Quicktime Movie, leave recompress and leave self contained UNchecked).

    Open Compressor.

    Bring the movie in to Compressor.

    Now. more questions.

    What do you need, do you need a center cut dv movie? Anamorphic Prores movie? What is your master supposed to be?

    I need to deliver SD in a 4:3 to a local TV station, they didn’t specify format. I have several sections to this 28:30 min show. I have 4 sequences in HD, the guts of the show (the clip is an example that I sent you). Then I have a bunch of graphics for sponsored by ads, they are a mishmash of HD and SD. Then I have a few commercials from other companies, all in SD. So, my timeline to go OUT I made in SD, NTSC DV/DVCPRO. I decided to stay away from ProRes after you mentioned that 486 business.

    So, if I export out, then into compressor……it needs to play happy with all the other formats. I’ve been editing for over 4 years now, but have never had a mix format project like this. A great learning experience!

    Delivering Tape.

    Everything is Title Safe. Going letterbox in a 4:3.
