Problem solved. I was overthinking. Thanks!

There’s a free application called “Audacity” that you can use to do it. It’s a very useful little app. It includes tempo changing that enables you to shorten or lengthen audio. Works well if the change is slight. I use if under os x. Don’t know if there are non-mac versions. It seems to me that when I used the mp3 export function it told me that I had to download something else. I don’t remember what that was, but whatever it was I did it, and it worked.

I think you make a couple good points. I used the thousands of colors (film) vs hundreds of colors (video) comparison because that was the way one of the experts on another of the forums described it. I went along with it, but I was never comfortable with it, and you’re right about the banding at thousands of colors. I’ve seen that. So I think I’ll change that.
The lattitude of levels info you had sounded sensible, but I only understood 63.79% of what you said.

I don’t know of a way to do it directly, but here’s something I tried. I put the Quicktime Movie with alpha on V1. Then I put a White rectangle on V2, scaled it up to fill the screen. I selected the white rectangle (V2) and used “composite mode” (under “Modify”) and chose “Travel Matte – Alpha”. Rendered. Now I could export that sequence and have the equivalent of “just the alpha channel”.

NTSC … Never Twice the Same Color. Well, that’s all I’ve ever worked in. PAL reminds me of Bart Simpson’s quote when asked if he knew “sentence structure”. He replied, “I know OF it”.
I was pleased with the results I got from my PhotoShop de-interlace method, although I don’t use it very often. I developed it about 4 years ago when I wasn’t satisfied with what I was getting from other methods and plug-ins in Media Composer. I only use FCP now. I’m sure there are some things out there that I don’t know about.

What would you use? Or would you?

I was gonna say that … maybe not as well … I wasn’t going to use the word iteration or vacillation … but, yeah!

I wish I’d read something like this when I went freelance. Maybe I did, and didn’t believe it. I sure do now!

Nicely stated. Though I found the concepts of “Ka-Ching” somewhat difficult to grasp at first, having come from a clock-punching world, I am now a true devotee.
