… and in AfterEffects, you’ll want to use “tracking”. Might be called “camera tracking” in AE — (I’m a Combustion user for FX). That will help match your text to the moving shot.

As far as I know, Xena cards (or similar I/O hardware) is “self-contained”, and does not use any GPU processing. The driver reliability in “workstation-class” graphics cards is worth considering, though. (such as FX vs. GeForce)
Your mileage may vary…

One thing that will speed up your workflow.
After you have the edit done in Premiere, export to “DVD-MPEG2” using Media Encoder (within Premiere).
Author, write an image (ISO) out of Encore; no re-compression necessary.
Burn the disc image with whatever you like. 4x writing speed on a reliable brand (most are re-branded Taiyo Yuden discs) of DVD-R media will increase your odds.-Jeff

One caveat: if you use still frames (as opposed to a file sequence), you’ll find it pretty much impossible to edit. You will have the equivalent of 1200 “clips”, all of one frame duration…
been there ;>)

And if you have After Effects, use that instead. (See: “Keylight”)

I’d pre-process the images first in Photoshop if needed. Then, treat the images as a file sequence (assuming they have sequential frame numbers). Interpret the footage to the desired frame rate. I’d use AfterEffects for the finishing over Premiere; Premiere tends to bog down with large frame sizes (2K+), and color-correction, blurs, masks, etc, are probably easier to do in AE.

You will get custom project setting for the SDI card you buy; after the card & software are installed, they should show up in your project choices in Premiere.

The most direct way is to crop 2 lines off the top, 4 lines off the bottom (or vice-versa). That maintains field order. Rescaling is rather pointless in going between 486 <-> 480.

I think Tim’s referring to the difference between decent, or even good tech support, and a broadcast reseller that will show up with replacement gear within 4 hours to your facility where downtime is costing you many hundreds of dollars per hour.
Not that I know of any such resellers, but I’m in a “small” market…-jeff

Are you watching the DVD on a TV ? If so, you are seeing the normal results of “overscan”. Computer monitors show edge-to-edge, TVs scan so the edges are offscreen. Search for “title safe” online or in the help docs.
BTW, NTSC video-DVDs are always 480×720 pixels. Always.-jeff
