HD to SD Workflow

[Chris Poisson]

Very simple, very easy. Just export a QT movie, no need to make self-contained, and put it in Compressor. Choose a high quality encode for DVD, in the inspector you will see that it is set to 720×480 16×9.

You also can send your HD timeline to Compressor and encode the same way, but it will take longer, and the results might be cleaner.

Load your assets into DVDSP and choose to hve it letterboxed or widescreen. That’s it. Compressor will do all the scaling, etc.

Thanks! Could you read my “Jitter Dissolve” post and see if you’ve had this issue?

you may need to adjust the scaling in compressor to “best” otherwise you could very well have aliasing occur with the stock settings.
