Thank you so much for your help Sean, as I said when replying to John, you were right, my aspect ratio settings had been modified when creating the new low-res project but I couldn’t understand why because what I normaly do is to export on Motion Jpeg at 750×576 so, the aspect ratio should be the same when reconnecting the footage…anyway, it seems pretty easy to fix by removing all motion attributes applied to the clips on the timeline…so, will have to remember that next time! Cheers!!

Thanks for your help John, yes, you were right, there was a change in aspect ration applied to the footage…something I wasn’t aware of…so, that is the mistery solved!! I will have to remember to change the aspect ratio every time I replace the footage! Cheers!

Thanks Todd,

Actually, for me to be able to get the uncompressed footage from the offline sequence I have no other choice but copying it and pasting it to another sequence with the right settings (matching format etc)…but it doesn’t work for some strange reason, that is my problem here.
Thanks so much for your help…still no idea what can be causing this…

Hi Jerry,

thanks for the comment, but your method is actually erroneous. If you do that, what happens is, you are working on a sequence which was customised to work with offline quality footage, therefore, when you reconnect the footage (after you make it offline), you will have uncompressed footage in a sequence that was meant for offline, needing to render as a consequence. The problem here is that, even when I create a sequence to match the settings of uncompressed footage, FCP stills needs to render (that is even when footage and sequence settings match!)…I wonder if there is something hidden which I have overlooked, but I have extensively searched and everything seems to be in order so I do not know what this still happens…
I appreciate your help! : )
I wonder if anyone else has come up with a problem like this before…

Thanks for that. I will try that and see if it is what I am after. Thanks again!

Hey guys!! It would be nice if you could share with the rest of us what the right scaling numbers are !!! I read the entire thread and then when you get a good answer…you keep it to yourselves!!! I think that we could all benefit from that info. Thanks!

You should be able to send your movie to the Render queue and use the Animation codec which is recognized by Avid. The best solution would be to install the Avid DV codec into your system in a way that AE can use it as well for export into Avid.

What codec have you saved your video from AE?

I guess no one is going to reply to such a broad question here as this is a Avid specific forum, therefore most of the views will be biased towards the Avid editing system.
I would check somewhere else more general to get a balanced view of things. There are a number of choices in the Avid product range but you could very well consider other editing systems/software as capable and with differing prices and ranges. It shouldn’t be diffcult for you to find information by typing “uncompressed editing system” on Google.
