  • Format mishmash / PAL / Workflow suggestions?

    Posted by Jussi Buckbee on January 13, 2011 at 10:21 am

    Hi,

    I have a project that involves H.264 50p 1280×720 square, DVCProHD 720p50 960×720 AAAND (to put the cherry on the top) DVCPRO50 PAL (CCIR 601) SD 720×576 anamorphic lowerfield materials. All this will have to be delivered in SD => DV PAL 25 anamorphic lowerfield.

    I’m thinking of conforming all the material into something more manageable, but I’m really at a loss as where to begin and how to proceed with this.

    I sure would appreciate some time- and nervesaving advise.

    Thanks in advance. jb

    I think I’d transcode it all to DV anamorphic, the delivery format, then edit, unless the project has a lot of keying, or other effects going on, I’d just edit in SD. But getting it all to the same format will certainly make your life easier.
