Mixed Format Project
I’m trying to create a project w/ mixed format. Some of the files are 16:9 and some are 4:3. Some of the footage is off the HVX (DVCHDPRO) while some is off a home camcorder and one file is flash from youtube. I’ve converted everything to quicktime but I’m wondering how I should handle this mixed format especially in 1) sequence settings 2) aspect ratios especially in the final export and 3) limiting the time I’m rendering. Any advice for how to do this?

Hey Sean,
What is your intended delivery format? 16×9 HD? If that’s the case, the camcorder footage (which I’m assuming is DV NTSC or PAL) and the flash footage which is going to be about 320×240 aren’t going to look too good if you are upscaling them to HD. Too add more quality loss, if the camcorder footage and flash footage are both 4×3 and the sequence you are adding them too are 16×9, then you will either have to scale up the footage to lose the pillar box effect down the sides of the footage, or arc it, which again is going to affect the quality of the pictures.
What QT format did you convert the camcorder and flash footage to?
Again it all depends on your final delivery format.
Can you give a little more information on the formats you have used, the QT conversion and the hardware/software you are using?
Cheers
Simon
