That’s a great idea, too. But why does the 486 cause a problem? Can’t I just change my sequence to 486 from 480? And will the AVID codec add any weird compression to DV footage?

John,

Thanks for the advice. I’m always confused when it comes to compression with DV footage. Since the footage is compressed to begin with, is sending a DV Quicktime to AVID and laying off to Digi going to produce the same results as using an Animation Quicktime? It seems to me that if they’re close enough, then the Animation won’t be worth the wait.

I’m just trying to get it to look the best it can because I already have to scale it up 121% to make it 4:3 anamorphic from a 4:3 1.85 Letterbox timeline.
