So I put the video into a PAL Widescreen comp so that the whole thing fit, rendered it out using the PAL, 48kh Audio render setting and it came out look just as it should (I believe). Correct size and all. Then I tried rendering one out (same exact comp) using the Lossless setting but it came out with the black bars on either side of the video. Using this method, am I forced to render out using the PAL setting? I feel like I am losing audio quality, which is not great considering it’s a music video. Is this just something I’ll have to live with considering they’re asking for SD over in the UK? Thanks for all the help thus far!

Howdy,

When I drop my footage into the comp, should I go with the default settings on PAL Widescreen or set it to square pixels? I’ll try it out and let you know. Thanks.

Hey Bouke,
Thanks for the reply. What I meant by it not being 720×576 is that when I choose PAL Widescreen, it sets the comp size to something bigger than that (I think it is 1050 x 576). Now, I was just trying to wrap my head around this whole conversion thing and came upon this article. So, if I understand correcly, the PAL Widescreen setting (1050 x 576) is that size to compensate for all the weird pixel and size conversions and will look just fine over in the UK and will in actuality end up being 720×576? My concern is that what I have is a 1920×1080 movie file which we then added letterboxing to and they are asking for a 720×576 SD PAL FHA movie file. So, using your method (even though I’m choosing a PAL WIDESCREEN setting) it won’t actually be widescreen when they receive/broadcast it? Ouch, my head just started hurting. Very new to this sort of conversion, thanks for the help.
Oh, and when you say “Interpret footage as square pixels, and drop it in.” do you mean change the comp settings to square pixels?
