    Thanks Stig.

    Am I right that DNX is for HD only (ie Square pixels) so not suitable for Anamorphic SD?

    I think our HD workflow is the best it’s going to get here- and we use DNX. It’s the SD that I think could be improved. Understand working with the same codec all the way through but, as mentioned, outputing VFX in MPEG50 looks rubbish… and out-putting Animation seems like an overkill considering it gets compressed down to MPEG50 for broadcast.

    Is there a middle ground? A better codec either for the AVIDs or for VFX output?

    Just more detail for the MPEG50 Codec:

    AVID MPEG2 50mbit Codec, 720 x 576, Millions
    24-bit Integer (Big Endian)

    25fps

    Also…. With the footage coming in Anamorphic from AVID, After Effects CS5 has now changed the ratios and interprets it as 1050×576. Anyway around this?
