Downconverting DVCPRO HD 720p to SD (Digibeta master)
I will be downconverting from varicam’s DVCPRO HD 720p 25 in final cut in order to output to digibeta, so what should my SD sequence settings and pixel aspect ratio be? As far as my frame size, should it be 720×576 or 768×576?
The music video was shot with a 2:40 aspect ratio in mind on set, how can I achieve that in final cut? should i just crop from top and bottom a certain amount of pixels?
thanks a lot!

720×576 (anamorphic)sounds correct to me. You could nest the dvcpro-hd sequence within a PAL D1 sequence.
as for cropping, you should be able to get the ratio you want within final cut pro. There’s a letterboxing section somewhere in the f/x section.
