    Posted by Michael Mohr on July 1, 2008 at 9:26 pm

    I shot a bunch of green screen footage in HDV and brought it into AE CS3 to key over a motion background. I captured the footage in PPro CS3 1080i 60i. I get everthing ready and then I have trouble setting my output module. I want to do one of two things. Render it off so it’s DV widescreen and will play realtime in PPro, or, render it off in HDV 1080i 60i. I don’t know what setting I should use for the first one and whenever I try to do the second one I get an error message saying the output module and render node are mismatched.

    Thanks for looking and thanks a lot if you can help.

    DV Widescreen Version:

    Create a new, empty comp using the widescreen DV preset. Drag your 1080i comp into this new composition and scale it down to fit. Add this DV widescreen comp to the render queue and proceed as normal.

    HDV 1080i version:

    It sounds like you might have gone in and gummed up your settings somewhere. Provided that your comp is set to use the correct settings, you shouldn’t have any mismatch issues. Aside from that, I can’t really help on this one.
