Hi All

a quick fix to the problem: don’t let FC do any scaling! Export the movie from FC “as is” eg. the straight “Export Quicktime movie”, Current settings way. Import the movie in Adobe AfterFX and make a composition from the mov, using all it’s settings (PAR etc) If you’re exporting to a square pixel format, change the Comp settings to requested output size (via Presets f.i) and export your image sequence from there. You may need to scale your movie down first to f.e. 80% if the output is PAL 16:9.
If you want to keep your 960:720 HD PAR format just export straight away.
I don’t know why FC messes up the image, i guess it’s a codec thing?
The AfterFX route works for me, any size & PAR, have not tryed this with interlaced footage yet however. Observe and interpret the correct field order and things usually work out though…

hope it’s of any help!
