HDV AE interpretation?
Hi all,
AE interprets my 1440×1080 HDV material (shot on sony’s Z1U) to non-square pics, while the comp settings for HDTV in AE only gives me square pics (which then results in stretched video material when i pop it in to a comp – even though same dimensions in both settings i.e. 1920 x 1080).
Am i clear to re-interpret the footage to square pics, which makes it fit in nicely?
As far as I can see right now I should be OK, or are there problems waiting ahead?
Also, I was expecting to having to do a pull-down on the HDV clips, but AE can’t do one (if I press the guess pulldown button in the interpret footage dialogue nothing happens…???Any advice on these two things would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Check my post in a previous thread for establishing interpretation rules for HDV. (If you upgrade to AE7 you won’t need to worry – it’s all included).

You don’t need to use pulldown.

wow, cheeers for that! it worked a charm getting those new settings into the drop down menues,.,.
my problem now is that i’ve already gone agead an created a bunch of graphic sequences in 1920×1080 comps that I now have to put my hdv footage into… if I choose the new 1.33 option they’re still stretched in those comps. however if I interpret the hdv footage as square pixels then they look fine? what do I do? is there a big quality loss if I interpret the hdv as square pix rather than 1.33?
sorry if I’m being thick and not seeing something obvious here, while struggling to hold back panic 🙂
thanks again, d
