HDV Effects With AE 6.5?
Hi there. I’m working on a low budget feature that was shot on HDV (sony Z1) I plan to upres the footage to DVCPRO HD for output. The director want an animation guy to come in and do some work on certain scenes. He has told me that he has After Effects 6.5 (Mac). Will he be able to do the effects for us without me having to give him lores footage. This film will be projected in the cinema from a HD projector so quality is a big issue!
Any suggested workflows? I’m using FCP 5.0.
cheers
Jon

Thanks for the respond Dave, as usual I have left out details that were important. We shot 1080i, at 25fps, PAL. I know it’s not proper frame rate for cinema, but in the UK there is a small digital initiative for HD films to be shown.
What format should I export the scenes as for the after effects guy to import them into his machine? Can I give them to him as DVCPRO HD?
For the record I hate the Z1, the overscan with the ouput monitor has given us some ‘interesting’ compositions. We would have gone with the JVC and progressive scan except FCP 5 can’t handle 25fps progressive.
