    I am interning on a commercial and need some help. I filmed the commercial with a DVCPRO at 720p24 and 16:9 aspect ratio. Here are what I have for settings:

    Sequence Preset: DVCPRO HD-720p24
    Capture Preset: DVCPRO HD-720p24 48 kHz
    Device Preset: HDV FireWire NDF
    Video Playback: AJA Kona 720p25 8 bit DVCPROHD (1280x 720)

    Am I forgetting any other settings?

    When I look my video clips in the viewer and on a TV monitor, they look good and there are no black bars. When I put them on my sequence and view them on the TV, they look squeezed and there are black bars.

    Also, I tried to speed up one of the clips to a speed of 3000. When I do this, the image looks very liney and interlaced. Any reason why this is?

    Thanks for your help!

    What should my sequence settings be?

    DVC Pro HD is NOT HDV. Adjust your settings accordingly.
