OK, that makes perfect sense. Ben’s post has answered your question very well.

Do you have Motion Blur turned on in After Effects? 24P motion will look very different if you aren’t making your animation style accommodate it. Moves might need to be slower, motion blur more pronounced. Assuming your AE render truly matches your sequence settings, I’d say it’s probably a combination of these items and the nature of 24P.

Are you saying that you have a 4:3 sequence and your broadcast outlet wants it 16:9 anamorphic? If you had the option, seems like you should have started with a 16:9 anamorphic sequence. Your 16:9 sources would drop right in full screen and your 4:3 sources would either go in with pillarboxes or scale up to fill with loss of top and bottom.

Adobe has articles like this one that might be helpful.

Paulo,
I believe your disk space calculation is correct. I have not observed any unusual overhead with uncompressed AVI that would push it above 31MB per second. Bob Flood comes up with a smaller number using the Digital Heaven calculator. If anything, your higher calculation will give you a safety factor.I agree with your method of extracting the clips you need in Quicktime and then using Advanced Format Conversion in Compressor to batch convert them correctly to DVCProHD. At that point you can deal with the aspect conversion and deinterlacing if needed.
Could you go to this PC shop and do the extracting? If they have this in Premiere Pro or something similar, you could edit it down there and then export just the part you need. It might save drudgery.
You should try a small end-to-end test of the workflow. Depending on the actual codec used for these “uncompressed AVIs”, they can be cumbersome to work with in Quicktime Pro.

I’m slow today.

In some cases, the Viewer shows interlacing.
From the FCP5 manual:
When playing back media with the Viewer scaled to 100 percent, both fields of interlaced video are displayed. If the Viewer is scaled to anything other than 100 percent and you -
I proposed H.264 as a delivery codec that would work with nothing but the Quicktime 7 player on a computer with adequate power. Staying with DV PAL will give the best quality although H.264 will allow you to get to a smaller file size without much loss. It will obviously take you much longer to compress to H.264, though.

No, it’s not just for the web. You can get some very nice hi-res playback from H.264 on computers with enough power and Quicktime 7.
I proposed that as a solution assuming that the movie would be played not just on your hi-end computer, but a variety of client computers with no special hardware and just a Quicktime 7 player.

What are your sequence settings?
Short answer: H.264
The best, most advanced, most efficient in Quicktime.
