converting 720 x 480 to 720 x 486

[Chris Tompkins]

you should be able to drop the 720X480 clip into the 720X486 sequence easy enough without issue.

If you do a FULL render on the vid b/4 the plural eyes sync – does that work?

Right.
FC will add those 6 extra lines.
He know how to do it (I think was 2 on top and one in the bottom of each field).

If you want to do this before putting it in FCP, you can drop it in Compressor, and set it to 720 x 486 in the Geometry Pane. Compressor will automatically add the proper padding to the top and bottom.

3 great ideas, and all work!

I’ve already tried using compressor which is very easy and will work well.

Thanks everyone!

OOPS!
After using compressor and the geometry pane the render went soft. It changed it to 486, though.

When switching back and forth from the 486 created by the KiPro recorders to the newly rendered 486 ther was a size jump in the image. I don’t get that. I rendered to 422 without the geometry pane and the image stayed sharp.

I’m not sure what happened, but I’m back to square one.

Any ideas?

Chris,
Yes a full render to 486 before going into Plural Eyes worked.

If you look at my recent post, I found out compressor made the video go soft.

Not sure why.
