Question for Shane

[Shane Ross]

How would you convert, say anamorphic DV to HD? Well, I would think (since I haven’t done it) that you’d do everything BUT crop the image. Since it is already anamorphic, just use all those settings, but don’t crop the top and bottom. Try that and see what happens.

And please report your findings.

[Chris Poisson] “what would I do different going from some anamorphic footage or sequence?”

Pretty much the same thing. We had an entire episode shot DV anamorphic. Just capture it DV Anamorphic, place it into a DV Anamorphic timeline and then up-rez either using FCP or via Compressor. We up converted to 720p just within FCP and it worked out beautifully.
