Create a NEW sequence in 720p.
Copy everything in the 1080 sequence and paste it into the new one.

You will have to resize all the shots…

Anything over 72dpi for video is a waste.
The DV codec is not the best for final.

Make the images:

72dpi
RGB
.png/.psd/.targa/.tiff – Don’t use .jpg for a bit of a quality bump.
YMMV

Size – depend if you are doing moves or not. If no moves on stills, size them a close to the sequence size as you can. If moves, make them about twice as big or so.

Start with the DV sequence preset – it matched DVD size.
When the edit is complete.
Change the Sequence settings.
Prores422
Rerender all/full.
Export using “Current Settings”
Drop that file into compressor to create your dvd ready files.

I would not hand over a ProRes codec file to someone to play off a computer. They need to have that codec on that comp. to play it.

Start with the Youtube/Vimeo HD preset and go from there:

1280×720
deinterlace (if interlaced only)
5,000kbs
.h264
.mov

The 550d only shoots p.
Mixing p & I can yield less then ideal results.
But if u have run test-go 4 it!
