Neither video will copy into the other sequences without distorting. That is what is confusing me. It is like the source material was actually different, yet I know the cameras were both set to 1080P30.
I am cropping my images. And i shot with that in mind.
All videos are for web release.
A lot of the work i do is composite work, so i wouldnt leaving it in HD until i had keyed would yield a better quality key?
I just tested the compressor setting you recommended and they look very nice.
now here is where it gets funny….
If i take the clip i have downsized in compressor (50%,960×540 pro res) and dump it on top of the same clip that displays correctly in the sequence (3:2, NTSC CCIR601, square) it stretches the new clip vertically. yet the same clip underneath is perfect.
If i highlight both clips they are noticably different dimensions. yet they are copies of each other???
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thanks.
