    Hey guys, wich is the right workflow about get two diferents output videos?

    I mean, i want to create 2 diferents outputs of my footage, 1080p and NTSC.

    Im asking if the right way to do that is just work in the higher one (1080p) and make the movie and then use some 3rd part soft to resize it to the NTSC? or is better to make it trough after effect or premiere?

    Thanks in advance

    Yes, work at 1080, then resize for NTSC. (If you are not letterboxing, do remember to keep the graphics 4:3 safe for center cutting, or be prepared to rework 16:9 layouts for 4:3.)

    I don’t think there’s a need for third-party down-scaling. Premiere Pro uses Lanczos resampling and bicubic interpolation [link]. I believe AE uses bilinear only.

    So premiere will be better for down-scaling.

    Another question, my videos are all files of 2gb size.

    i want to cut that videos in small ones each fight (are martial arts tournament) so i need to edit each fight to add socreboards and stuff like that like an broadcasting event.

    So wich is the best way to do it? just import the big file into AE and drop multiple copies of each big file into the timeline and resize it, or think that will be better to create small files and edit each fight alone and then put all together using premiere?

    Hope understand me:)
