I’m doing this on my mac pro lap top with Apple Pro Res 422HQ. Then We want to color correct in color and output to HD cam at 1080P. Does this sound like I’m on the right track?
-
yeah I just want to lay back to HD Cam from a time line thats 2048 X 1152. So would it be better to transcode the footage in Red Rushes to 1920X1080 and then edit in Final cut or does it matter?

Yes it does, but my next question then is can this project be output directly to HDCam?

Carlos, I feel your pain. I have gotten the red line when importing things from dvd. Even though 640×480 is not dv resolution, you should be able to load this into the timeline and then export just that clip in the timeline as a quicktime movie to create a new file(tedious I know). If you do this, the export should take on the attributes of your DV settings in the timeline. You should then be able to bring the exported movie back into your project and the red line not be there. Hope this helps.

Well, I got the resolution problem fixed. I had been outputting a dv quicktime from final cut with all the current settings. The problem was that because it was dv being rewritten from the timeline to a new dv file, there was generational loss. In After Effects, I was interpreting the field render only on the footage in the project window and not under “best settings” in the rendering box.
So From my Final Cut DV project I have to export footage as an animation with no compression. Once in AE, I render with lower field first under the “best Settings” tab in the render box. I always thought that you only had to set the field interpolation on the footage directly. It seems what I have found in all of this is that the interpolation on the footage appears to only be for viewing footage properly in AE. When I am ready to render and select the lower field setting under “best settings” that it is necessary to turn off the interpolation or I get a field jitter in the final render. That is very backwards from the way I was taught. I thought you always had to leave your footage interpreted before rendering. Any insight on this?
Anyway, I did what you said for the color management and I still get the same problem.
Well, one thing got solved, kind of.John

First, I am exporting a dv QT from final cut. The export is fine as I have brought it back in to FCP to check it.
Once in After Effects I have tried both a quicktime dv codec and also a lossless qt codec and get the same problem.

Under Project settings/color settings the depth is set to 8 bits per channel and working space is set to none. How should I set it?
