HD in FCP to DVD SP. Why is it so elusive??
I am trying to find the definitive answer on how to bring PSD files into a 1080i 29.97 DVC Pro HD timeline. With DV it was bloody easy. Create a 720 x 576 image, resize it to 720 x 480 (or something close, it’s been years since I’ve dealt with DV) and Bob’s your Uncle.
No matter what size of a PSD file I create, when I copy the layers from the PSD comp and paste them into an HD timeline, they go totally nuts.
If I drop the PSD sequence file in the TL (PSD file size 1440 x 1080) it seems to fit just fine.
Why can’t I copy individual layers from PSD sequence and have them keep the same aspect ratio? Is this a bug???

The thing that really gets me is when I’m trying to make motion menus and I need the PSD file to be exactly the same in FCP as is in DVD SP and for the life of me I cannot get the same fil to look the same in both programs and I have yet to find a logical explanation of why this is so bloody confusing.
