No, this is not downconverting, this is merely scaling. For downconvert you need hardware such as a Kona card, or software, like Compressor.
Or I believe you can downconvert it with the Media Manager.
You can go anamorphic if that’s what you like.
The cool thing about scaling is that you can move itt around (pan and scan) or zoom in on it. I recently did a 720p project with 1080 footage, pan and scan was very handy and cool, smoother than most camera moves.
Have a wonderful day.

You also have the composite modes, screen, overlay and multiply give some degrees of transparency, play around with them.

Aviv,
You should be able to put your HD clips in a SD timeline, FCP will scale it and letterbox it. Or you can make it anamorphic. No special settings in the camera, FCP will put the shift fields filter on it. It wili look great if your footage is shot properly.
To see it on a monitor you may want to look at an MXO and a 23″ Cinema Display, but you also can send it to one via DVI, however the MXO will allow you to calibrate it properly.
Have a wonderful day.

Third vote for Fotomagico, what a great tool and great timesaver. Absolutely the best way to go for this.

In some cases with some of the recent updates, Boris goes into it’s own folder in the generator pull down, look for “Boris.” It may be in there.

Joe,
This is probably one of the top three issue here, it has been discussed to death. It’s all in the archives, but 99% of the time this problem (which can happen in different degrees no matter what) is traced to overly high resolution images. Make your images no more than twice your frame size at 72 dpi and most if not all of this will go away. Add a bit of vertical blur or gaussian blur and/or the flicker filter if it persists.
Do a search on “flickering” and you will see a bunch.
Have a wonderful day.

Thanks Rennie,
I do have a manual for this, but this looks a bit different, will check it out.

Sorry, the camera is the AJ-D410AP. Have not seen an AB switch.
