[Dave LaRonde] “You can then drag the file onto the Compressor icon, and choose the least amount of compression possible to make the MPEG2 file (m2v)– don’t forget you’ll also need to make an audio file in Compressor to use when you author in DVD Studio Pro.”
DO NOT set you max bit rate to be higher than 7 mbps. Encoding at too high of a bit rate can cause a ton of problems. Many dvd players will not be able to keep up.

Or if you have BCC you can do a BCC Directional Blur on the red and blue channels.

I think this depends on how picky you are about quality. I would follow Dave’s 1st suggestion and do everything at 23.98 and master to whatever HD deck you have. Then send it to a post-house for a proper downconversion. I might get pounced on for this but I do have a Kona 3 and whenever I need to do a downconversion for broadcast I send it out to a facility with a teranex or something similar. The Kona 3’s downconverts are quite sloppy.

What they are saying should definitely solve your problem. I have found that if I create a new comp using the the preset for 23.98 (24), I have to manually change the frame rate to 23.976
If I drag 23.98 footage to the make new comp button (my usual M.O.) it creates a new comp at the right frame rate (23.976)

how about an NLE?

They probably have a graphics department because it’s just another service that they provide. But if you are finishing spots / trailers / etc, all graphics are provided by the creative vendor who designed them. All you do is plop them in.

They will just run all the video stuff through a Teraxnex or something similar and you should be fine. For the film you will need to have that telecined out. What is your location?

What’s your budget? Makes a world of difference. If you can afford it have a post house transfer everything to the format you are mastering in. There are a host of issues with the transfers but if you choose a professional post house they will have the proper converters and staff to do a good job.
Wanna do it yourself? Not gonna be fun. Someone else will chime in though on the specifics of that.

looks like it. But the key is not great anyway. There’s quite a border around the people most of the time. Maybe he had them wear clothing completely opposite the environment and did an autotrace off a junk matte. ?

have you tried rendering out as an image sequence?
