That worked! A lot of extra time spent, but worth it. Now I just have to figure out why it’s all stretched… but right now I’m just glad it built. THANKS YOU! Alicia

Silly Encore – – why would it import and not be able to export the same size? Anywho… the files do sucessfully transcode to 720, but then some how Encore doesn’t recognize them when I go to build it.

So, I started a new project to test the imported 704 size by transcoding it to 720 size with just one of my movies and it worked! but then of course I decided to re-build the entire project and it didn’t work again.

So… I’m going to take your advise and go back to AE and try the 720 with the video and audio separate.

THANKS! Alicia

First off – Thank you SO much for responding to help me.

And I know, the 704×480 was very strange to me too, I’ve always worked in the NTSC 720×480 formats.

I guess this is the ‘widescreen’ 16×9 format for this camera, and Encore totally supports the size! see link below:

So, I don’t think it’s a size issue – as Encore hasn’t given me any errors on that at all – just when I go to build it…

I have a Panasonic SDR-H200, 3CCD, a 3.1 Mega Pixel (NTSC) camcorder, and the files from it imported and worked great in all the Adobe video products.

However, I’m kicking myself for getting my new machine with Windows Vista – could this be the problem? I noticed one other forum with the same issue I’m having and he was on Vista too.

704×480 is the native size the video was shot at on a DV camcorder.

Yah, I hadthe files transcoded to the automatic setting the first time around and got the same error. I decided to customize the setting to see if that would fix it, and it didn’t…. Any other ideas?
