Will that lessen the image quality at all?

Interesting point! The piece for which we are currently in funding will be a feature length piece.

Thanks Shane! Also, which of the three processors would you suggest? Thanks a ton for your suggestions!

The latter – sorry for the confusion.

It corrected the picture in the timeline, yet still exported it incorrectly. I tried doing the same thing with the 8 bit uncompressed codec and it exported just fine.

I can’t post a still because I’m exporting other materials — but, it is not letterboxed because there are no black bars — the footage fills the screen, but in a non-anamorphic aspect ratio causing the footage to look squished. Thanks for your help.

My bad, I don’t mean squeezed, I mean it takes the clip and puts it into the non-anamorphic format, causing the piture to look disproportionate. What is that called? What am I doing wrong?

Okay here’s the deal — there are a numer of formats that festivals allow, so we are still unsure as to what format we will be submitting the film. As far as picture goes, we just want to get the best picture possible, while getting the most bang for our buck. I know much more about the art of making a film, than I do the technical aspects of making a film — so, this is sort of like baptism by fire!
If we use the the DVCPRO HD codec to capture the footage into FCP, we would definitely save space, but how much picture quality would we lose by not buying a Kona card and using the 8-bit uncompressed codec? Would there be a big difference in quality between the two codecs when projected on the big screen? I am also confused with the upconvert idea – how exactly does that work? Could the project be captured and edited in the DVCPRO HD firewire codec, then later upconverted to look even better? I keep finding confllicting answers to this question. Thanks for your patience and help!
