    comping multiple formats for 4:5 FLV

    Posted by Randy Cates on March 11, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    In a nut shell I’m building multi format (HD-1:33, DV-.9 and GRFX-720×480 sq. pixel) composits that will ultimately end up as 320×240 Flash Videos for streaming. click and “updated link” https://wpcarey.asu.edu/mba/online/program/curriculum.cfm

    Problem:
    I’m getting squished video (horizontally) when outputting the 320×240 FLV file. I understand why it’s being squished but am confused as to how combine these multiple formats to output without distortion. And how my master comp should be configured.

    Presently my mstr cmp is 720×480 sq pix. I understand rec./sq. pixels but it starts getting a little more confusing when working with multiple formats with different aspects.

    Should I master in a 640×480 comp and just nest everything in it’s native format/aspect?

    Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

    720×480 sq pixel doesn’t reduce to a 320×240 aspect (4:3)
    half of 720 is 360.

    In short I have been working in square pixel this is what creates my problem.
