Okay, I started a brand new project, and made sure the General tab’s PAR setting was 0.9 (DV NTSC). When I imported some KNOWN 0.9 PAR output from AE, PP7 interpreted it as 1.0 instead of 0.9. Bummer.
I do have a point of correction on my last post…when I pull in video directly from my video cam it is properly interpreted.
So, it looks like the issue is AE, so I did the following experiment. I generated a short AVI clip from AE using the Microsoft DV codec and the same short clip using NO COMPRESSION (what I usually use). Then, I imported both into PP7. PP7 properly interpreted the Microsoft DV clip, but misinterpreted the uncompressed one. Weird! I’d be happy to use the Microsoft DV codec out of AE, but the images aren’t as crisp, so I don’t like it.
Any more thoughts from anyone out there?
