Same as Source export at 352 x 243
Exporting my current project as “Same as Source” gives me a 352×243 S resolution result.
Footage is standard DV 720×480. I’ve never run across this before.
I tried everything I could think of.
Trying to isolate the issue, I thought perhaps it was the graphics from Marquee I used. I used Avid’s Marquee Title Tool for the first time. However, exporting 3-5 seconds from a portion of the sequence with absolutely no graphics and with the least tracks (1 video; 2 audio), I ended up with the same result: 352×243.
Oddly, I did manage to get 2 small segments to export as Same as Source (SAS) at 720×480 — with no new re-traceable pattern. I did nothing different when I got 720 than the times I got 352. So, what’s triggering it to interpret it as S resolution when it does?
If I have to customize the export to get it to 720, which is doable, I don’t get a clean same as source export, no matter which compression I choose or do not choose.
How do I trace the root of what’s causing 720 DV to be interpreted as S Resolution?
Thanks!

I figured it out. Nevermind. Thanks for posting.

So what was it? It’s useful for folks searching the forums…

I thought you’d never ask.
I certainly did search and search before I posted my question. Here’s one for the archives.
Avid was reading the entire sequence as S resolution and exporting in that corresponding size because of 3 out of several titles created in the Title Tool. It wasn’t the Marquee Tool as I had suspected. As soon as I isolated them out, it returned to DV 720 size when exporting. It required micro-surgery because I had no idea what was triggering it, and not all the Title Tool creations were S resolution.
The S resolution titles shared this in common: shadow effects. For what that’s worth.
So, when that happens, something, anything is in S resolution. One frame in S resolution, apparently, will trigger the whole sequence to be interpreted that way.
That has been my experience. My micro-surgery gloves have been put to rest. Hallelujah.
