Ok, thank you for your answer.
I’m not very sure about which would be the best format, codec etc.. even in media encoder. I always get 150mb+ files, with a 40mb input video..
Also, what if I want to add my new clip in a short movie later on? (in Adobe Premiere Pro for example).
Should I use all the uncompressed videos, and compress the whole video at the end?
Should I keep the same resolution than the composition? (1920×1080) Or should I use the same resolution than the original file? (1440×1080)
I’m sorry for all these questions, but I really don’t understand all this at the moment. I’d really like to make a movie in the best quality possible, with the right resolution, and without having a HUGE file size.
Thank you very much !

Ok, so if I get it right, I should use a 1920×1080 square pixel composition, for my 1440×1080 clip?
Like so: https://imgur.com/0dSrW.png
Then I should render it using Quicktime uncompressed format, which will give me a huge file. But that doesn’t matter at the moment, since I will compress it with another software, right?
I hope that it’s this simple. Thanks a lot you guys for helping me, I really appreciate it.
Btw, what is your favorite software to compress it? Could Premiere do the work?
Thanks again.

Thank you very much for your answer. I didn’t realize it was an english forum until I posted it :S (I clicked in a link from a french forum to get here).
Once I realized it, I posted the threat again, just after, thinking it wouldn’t be accepted by moderators.
Anyways, I’m very thankful for your answer, and I will try your settings as soon as possible.
Sorry for the french message again, here it is, translated if you want.Hi all,
I bought a HV30 camera last month, which has been used to film all my skateboarding footage.
I also have the Adobe After Effects CS5 program, on my MacBook Pro.
My objective here, is to be able to do some “Ramped slow motion” with After Effects, using my HV30 clips. (Which were filmed in HDV 60i mode)
From my PC, using sony vegas, i’ve captured the clips from the camera (using firewire port), which are now in m2t format.
After watching some few youtube videos, I am now able to do quite good slow motions, but I do have a problem.
I did understand however, that I must use the same parameters in After Effects than the input clip.So I began by createding a composition with the preset: “HDV 1080 29.97” which gives me a 1440×1080 resolution.
Concerning the Pixel aspect ratio, I chose “HDV 1080/DVCPRO HD 720 (1.33)”
After putting my clip in the timeline, applying the slowmotion etc.. I then add my composition to Render Queue, in order to save my new slowmotion movie.
But then comes my first problem:What kind of settings should I put in the “Output Module” in order to get the highest quality, with the smallest file? There’s many many choices, but I can’t find any .avi or xvid codec like on windows. Should I use the “Quicktime” format? If yes, with what codec? :S
Because I didn’t know, I tried a few myself. But the file seems to always be at least 180mb, and sometimes around 400mb ! (the normal input clip is 40mb)My other problem is that when I render my slowmotion file, and play it with VLC, the format doesn’t seem to be right, my video is a “square” and does not fill the whole screen (I can see black space on the right and left side). https://imgur.com/MSPYt.jpg
I don’t really understand why this is happening, since I made sure to have 1440×1080 on my composition, which is the same format as my input file.As opposed to the slowmotion file, when I play my normal clip in VLC, it fills the whole screen, and no black spaces are on the sides.
When I play it with Quicktime, my clip is ALWAYS full screen.So please tell me, guys, what settings do YOU use in after effects to render a HV30 clip ? Am I the only one to have these problems?
Thank’s A LOT in advance, to the people trying to help me.
Have a good day,
Etienne
