Hey Adam,
If you happen to check back into this thread, I have a question about the 1 pixel y-axis adjustment:
Using the method you suggested, I first put my 720×480 sequence into a 720×486 timeline, but then I need to bump my media up one y-axis pixel to account for the new interlacing pattern. This would mean I’d have to go into each clip and change the motion settings one by one. To avoid that, could I export an FCP movie out of the 720×486 sequence, reimport it, and then bump the whole movie up by 1 y-axis pixel?
Thanks very much,
Ella

I really appreciate everyone’s replies.
Adam, I’ve heard of the process you suggested in the past and have been wondering technically how resizing and adjusting that way is preferable to just letting the card do it (I believe you, just want to understand better). What is the difference between what the card does and what dropping the DV media into an uncompressed 8-bit sequence does? Or what does the card not do that this process makes up for? We do have many transitions and effects so I want to do this the right way.
Thanks again!
Ella

Thanks, Dave. I’ll definitely research that.

We are using a Black Magic card to output, so we can go straight to tape is what I’m hearing… like I thought! Thank you very much for your input. It helps quite a lot.
