    Hello,

    I am editing a commercial shot on HDV. It looks fantastic. I love this format. However, I need to output a letterboxed dv version of it and am having problems. I looked through the manual and didn’t find anything. I also searched the posts in this forum and didn’t find anything useful. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

    Thanx

    Make a DV 4:3 sequence and drop your edited HDV sequence it into. Or you could export a QT Movie of the HDV version, reimport that and drop that into the DV 4:3 sequence. It would speed up the render process.

    All the best,

    Tom
