thanks a lot!

Which is the best program for creating mpeg2’s from lossless?

If you have an uncompressed file, will DVD Studio Pro do it for me?

What about feeding DVD studio pro with a Codecprocessed file like QT with animation codec?

Best Regards,

Thank you so much Jacob !

Now I can track matte 100% ! I really relly appreciate your respons!

Omg this is the best forum i’ve ever come across!, (and I know of a few…)

What I need to do is quite simple… VERY simple I think.

I have a chart…, a diagram, with uprights.

I have the upright, with a shadow|reflection – 2 different layers.

I need them to emerge from “nothing” the upright goes op, and it’s shadow|reflection, goes downward… see image.,

[rendernyc] “easisest thing is to make the mask on a solid above your layer and set it as a track matte”

Thanks for the great reply ! It helped me a little… BuT!, the track matte also affects the layers below the layer right under, right? With a normal mask, I could mask my solid 1, and then layers below, in the masked area, would still be visible.. hope it makes sense..

Thanks again !

[Filip Vandueren] “So work in 720*576 widescreen, and use the toggle. Live with the jaggies 8-)”

First of all, thank you so much for your reply, really helpful.

It seem like, if I toogle the aspect ratio button, and get it to fit there, when I export, i get a totally squeased picture, like when the toggle view is off.

[Anders Lilkaer]

Sorry for posting twice…

How should I interpret my HDV footage, and should I work with or without the toggle aspect ratio butto?

[Anders Lilkaer]

Thank you so much for the fast reply!

Yes, I don’t need HD, I just have HDV Footage in DV Widescreen project.

But when I set the composition settings to “PAL D1/DV Widescreen 720×576” and turn on the pixel aspect ration button, my footage get horizonticaly stretched… My HDV footage is said to be interpreted as DV 16×9 footage, but that’s possibly wrong?

[Anders Lilkaer]

It’s 1920×1080… and I it is pretty downscaled right now in the 4×3 project… And it doens’t look awsome, but it’s okay… But in fact, I don’t have to make it smaller than it is right now… it is actually only the animated picture layers ind the background that needs to be wider… It is just a person shot on a bluescreen… And we just need to convert it to 16×9…

Maybe it’s totally easy, cause I feel like the answer is right in front of me, but I need someone to tell me what to do… maybe om sort of panicing… hehe

[Anders Lilkaer]

Thanks for the reply.

Is it true, that i cannot monitor in widescreen mode… when i create a new 16×9 composition, it’s 4×3 format… Do I have to scale all the footage and layers to the point where I have borders in the top and bottom… or would I use the toggle pixel aspect ratio button and get the footage to fit in the widescreen view ?I hope this makes sense…
