  Sequence Settings & letterbox issues

  Posted by Freddy Jones on May 20, 2009 at 3:45 pm

  After applying a Ripple Dissolve to a shot and noticing that it was bleeding the letterbox into the picture, I realized I might have a problem. Then I noticed my sequence settings have changed, not sure how, could really use some input.

  I shot video at 720p, 24pn.
  I originally set my sequence to the preset: HDV-720p24
  Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
  Field Dominance: None
  Editing Timebase: 23.98
  QT Video Settings – Compressor: HDV 720p24

  Now, somehow, my sequence settings have changed to:
  720×480 – NTSC DV (3:2)
  Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC – CCIR 601/DV (720×480)
  Field Dominance: Lower
  Editing Timebase: 29.97
  QT Video Settings – Compressor: DV/DVCPRO-NTSC

  So were my original sequence settings proper?
  Should I change back to those settings?
  Can I change back to those settings?
  And how do I prevent this from happening again?

  Thanks so much.
