Thank you! That’s definitely it. I’ve never heard of that before. Is this something we’ll have to deal with in all mid-level encoders? I use Compressor for all my encoding needs right now, but I’d certainly be willing to switch it up to Sorenson or Telestream if their encoding is better.

Pixel Mask – check out the article it links to on that page too, interesting stuff.

Are you dropping the ProRes 1280×720 file into DVDSP? You need to take it to Compressor and encode it for DVD first – you get two files, m2v and ac3. I’m guessing if you’re dropping this ProRes file into DVDSP, the aspect ratio in the intermediate conversion DVDSP tries to do isn’t working out – going from square pixels to nonsquare, and all that junk. That’s not the way to do it – when you put files into DVDSP, you should see green dots almost immediately, not yellow 🙂
You definitely don’t need two versions.

Look up the Ripple tool. I think that’s what you’re after.
(Check out slip, slide and roll while you’re at it. Very useful.)

Not remembering much about how FCP 4.5 flips out, I would guess Quicktime Conversion is the culprit if everything remains the same otherwise. It seems like the wild card.
I think exporting your timeline as a Quicktime Movie (not QT Conversion) and sending it to Compressor is a step you need to take. At least it would verify if it’s FCP or iDVD giving you the problem. I never learned Compressor either, it’s pretty intuitive when you start clicking around.

The latest version of iMovie apparently has a filter that fixes rolling shutter. I’ve not used it (nor do I even have it), but that’s the only “fix” I’ve heard about.

What are you trying to make faster?

I’ve used voices.com many times. Never for international talent, but I have accidentally found a lot of foreign speakers on there while looking for my picks.

I would personally not spend money on Trapcode early in your AE career. Learn how to do as much as possible in AE instead of going to a plug-in, and you’ll be much stronger later so when you DO use it plug-in, it’ll be on top of already amazing stuff.
It’s more important to learn the software intimately now. A plug-in isn’t going to change your life.

Have you tried just cropping it on the timeline instead of nesting it?
Crop one clip, copy it, then highlight the remaining clips and paste attributes (crop)?
