Letterbox. So 480, which should be 486, could be the culprit for their eyes?

Jeremy, I sent out a minute test from my HDV sequence, which was re-set to upper, out to compressor, used Apple ProRes 422, NTSC – CCIR 601, Field Lower, 720X480 16:9. Dropped that into an SD sequence, 3:2, anamorphic unchecked, NTSC – CCIR 601, ProRes 422 compressor. Looks like crap! Not only are the white plates still doing their thing, now everyone’s eyes looks like their shut. What am I doing wrong?? Should I have it 4:3? I see interlaced lines all over this on my screen.

I know and I agree! But I had it as upper, and then was dropping the HDV sequence into a SD Lower timelime, and it was horrible. What should the final timeline be at? Lower or Upper, or even None? I also have some SD lower field commercials to incorporate into the cut of the show, so I have mixed formats to deal with.

I do too! All the time, no matter what I bring in the pan shifts to -1. No answers on this one yet, huh?

Hi, Thank you all for your help. ProRes 4444 is available on my system as a new project or a new sequence. But I was trying to export out using quicktime conversion, just like I do when I convert to say, H.264, but the 4444 option wasn’t there as it’s own thing, it IS there under options within the 422 exports however, but the alpha still didn’t work. I ended up just sending a million + png.
So I guess it’s a wrong workflow to try and change over your format during export? I should first make a new sequence in said codec, and then export as the same? Kinda confusing when it’s OK to change over to H.264, or DVCPro, ect, during export. 😉

Thank you so much David and Michael for all your help! I just did a ProRes 422 for progressive material (high quality), looks gorgeous and got it down from 6 gigs to 1.5! Still slow as molasses in FTP, but hopefully all will work well.
Thanks again, and happy weekend! 🙂

They are Avid, and they said to maybe now try MPEG-4, but won’t we lose a lot of rez on that? Any suggestions on settings? I never really work in that, trying now in compressor to do a few test runs.

well, it’s being sent to a place that will transfer the final product onto Beta D5 and DigiBeta downconversion. Does this still provide an issue with my export?

Here’s a question for ya. I just did a fresh install of my OSX, and cloned my old stuff, SO I do have it, but not sure what to transfer over……..and now I’m in the same situation with the 30 second only problem, actually, it’s only 15 seconds on a 30 second commercial. The thing is, before on my old system I had it working fine, and was able to always convert to wmv’s. That makes me wonder, did I at one time pay for Flip4Mac? OR did I stumble across something else to make exporting of wmv’s work? yes, I know, I should remember if I had paid for it! But is there really no other way to do wmv’s out of fcp?

fresh and clean sounds yummy, considering I’ve got 2 gigs left on my 169 size harddrive on this laptop. 🙂
I’ll give it a whirl. thanks!
