  DV -> Anamorphic – odd conversion problem

  Posted by Kevin Mcroberts on January 21, 2009 at 4:20 pm

  Hopeful somebody could advise:

  I have real 16:9 footage (from HVX200) and fake 16:9 footage (4:3 letterboxed, from PD150) that I’m trying to put together into a multiclip for cutting. There are a ton of timecode breaks on the PD150 footage anyway, so my workaround solution was to sync both in one timeline and output each seperate vid track as a self-contained QT mov. Hope is to then reimport each .mov which will then be same format, same aspect, sync’d, etc. to work together in multitrack.

  Here’s the oddity:
  The timeline sequence is set to 16:9 DV. I export using timeline settings.
  The HVX footage track exports as 16:9 DV.
  If I set short clip in/out points on the PD150 footage, it exports as 16:9 DV.
  If I export the entire PD150 track (with or without set in/out points), it exports as 4:3 DV squeezed and won’t multitrack with the HVX footage.

  So, um… what the hey?
