What is your target audience? Win or Mac users? Do you want to target a broad base of computer users or a smaller, more controllable audience? For a maximum range you can use MPEG1 at 384*288, for a better image quality and reduced compatability you should use something based on H.264

Some additional questions: what kind of Codec do you use inside Producer? HD or SD? And how do you get your material from Producer to AE? With a by-ref export? Self-contained? Using the “Export to AfterEffects” command from Producer?
And yes, a good description (or even better a screenshot) of the lines you are seeing would be very helpful.

[Jim Wigler] “Right off the bat, a Producer export loses saturation in QT Player, and is messed-up in After Effects… 🙁 “
Jim,
could you give me some additional info, like what kind of export are you doing (self-contained, by-ref, Quicktime (which codec)? How do you measure/view the loss of saturation? How is the clip “messed-up” in AE?
Thanks,

[Al J. Marschke] “Aspect ratio is and always has been 16:9 in the media100 hardware…hence the problem.”
It is okay to have this set up to 16:9 in the hardware settings, but you also need to select 16:9 in the Import window (CMD-I) when importing your rendered clips. AE does not write an aspect ratio flag into the rendered files, therefore they get imported as 4:3 into Media 100 i (btw, in Media 100 HD you can change from 4:3 to 16:9 and back easily).

[Al J. Marschke] “I could not drop it on the timeline. It was rendered 16:9 in AE with media 100 720 codec but that was not enough. The only thing that would work was Animation. The hardware was set to 16:9 when I imported it.”
As I said, when importing make sure that “Aspect Ratio” is set to “Use 16:9” in Media 100s Import dialog box.

[Al J. Marschke] “That’s the first thing I tried. I ended up having to render as an Animation from a comp set to DV widescreen. Media 100 codec would not let me do it.”
Where did the Media 100 codec not let you do this? If your comp is 720*576/486 (widescreen) and you render to the Media 100 720 codec there should be no problems. As I said, only make sure that the “Aspect Ratio” is set to “Use 16:9” when importing the rendered file into Media 100.

We use the HVR-M25E, which works fine. Not sure about the difference between the E and u models.
