Upressing DVCPRO 1280×1080 & 1280×720 into 1920×1080 for delivery
I have a video game project just handed to me today and I need to deliver a 1920×1080 tiff sequence but the fcp project i was handed has these following sequence settings:
Frame size: 1280×1080
Aspect Ratio: HD 1280×1080 (16:9)
Pixel aspect ration: 1280×1080
Field: Upper
29.97
compressor: DVCPRO HD 1080i60I have live action footage that was shot at:
DVCPRO HD 1080i60 29.97
upper fieldsand also video game footage that is:
1280×720
30 fps
.avi files in the (‘fps1’ codec?) – i cant even play this back in quicktime so that is another concern – will FCP be able to see this – do i need to download a codec??Can anyone please give me some solutions as to exactly how I should make this happen?
thanks

[lisa rolley] “I dot not understand. “
As a format, DVCPRo HD is an anamorphic format. In NTSC, 720p is 960×720 and 1080i is 1280×1080 and that’s how it gets recorded on all DVCPro HD camcorders, tape or P2. If you look at your DVCPro HD sequences you will see that’s the frame size.
When you export the timeline or any movie, Quicktime will account for this anamprhic aspect ratio and correct it. Fcp also dopes this in the viewer/canavas. It will stretch the image to 1920×1080 or 1280×720 and the image will be in the proper aspect ratio for viewing.
For your AVI file, you should run it through compressor to transcode it to 1080iDVCPro HD to match your sequence. FCP doesn’t like AVIs too much.
Make sense?
