Sorry: it didn’t seem to work because I had some nested sequences and I hadn’t turned blending off for the original clips.

However, I’d still like some more control, so I still need help. 🙂

I recently found that you can get decent results by creating a standard definition sequence, dragging your high def sequence in, then scaling it down (Effect Controls -> Motion -> Scale).

As far as I know you can’t just tell it to scale to a certain width and height, you have to mess with percentages.

At any rate, this seems to yield a much crisper result when subsequently opened in Encore than exporting a DVD based on a high definition timeline.

I haven’t done extensive testing yet, so please feel free to set me straight if I’m out to lunch.

I tried creating a new SD Sequence in my project and pasting in the content from my HD sequence, but all I got was a center crop of my HD content: it didn’t seem to scale. I’m new enough that I don’t know how to fix this.

Any advice?

Ah: I assumed I had the latest version, but I was running 4.0.0, which didn’t have that checkbox.

I can’t find the Maximum Render Quality checkbox in Premiere Pro CS4.

The documentation seems to imply that going to Sequence->Sequence Settings will get you a dialog with that option, but the last thing I see on that dialog is “Maximum Bit Depth”. I also can’t find it in the new sequence dialog.

Where is the Maximum Render Quality checkbox?

I totally forgot about the black & white levels! Thank you.

I don’t see this checkbox. What panel / dialog is it in? I did, however, create a custom quality profile and noticed a “quality” slider that goes up to 5. Are those settings related?
