No, I digitise from the deck in 2:1 or 1:1 (I make commercials, so disk space isnt an issue), and import rendered movies and graphics always at 1:1.

Thanks for the answers guys. I have read the chapters on D1 in the “Creating Motion Graphics” book (again) and its starting to make sense.
Just one more point to clear up please. When I export BetaSP material out of avid “same as source”, why does After Effects interpret as lower field first?
Thanks again

Hmmm…But when I export a movie it has the choice 4×3 square pixels. If you cant digitise with square pixels, why the option to export with square pixels? What would that bring?
But thanks for the reply. Anyone from England or Australia or somewhere working in PAL with something to add? Export BetaSP material with upper or lower fields?
Still confused,
Simon 😉

Thanks for the reply. After searching avid.com for info, that is in fact the case.

Hmmm…
The menu buttons were out of the encore template. I think it has something to do with the fact that not all photoshop layer effects can be imported into or read by AE. I have found a work-around for it now, so no worries.
thanks for the answers though.

The files are QT Animation Codec. The menu backgrounds are still pics so no worries there. My main gripe is that the “Export menu to AE” doesnt work right. The buttons look totally differant in AE, because all the comp layers are back to front. You have to go through are change them by hand. I would have thought this is a real problem, but nobody has bothered to answer on the AE forum. Have you got an idea why AE re-orders the layers in a Photoshop doc?
Thanks for the answer so far, anyway!
