Thanks for the info guys.

So i gather pretty much the way im doing it is right, and the only thing i can do is change the display settings of the tracks to 16×9 for letterboxing to footage.

Yes this is the way i was thinking i should do this….however

The way you are walking me through this, is to do Quicktime Movie, but once in that mode you dont really have that many options under Uncompressed… (In fact it only reads NTSC on uncompressed which i dont want).
I do have Blackmagic so i was thinking of doing Blackmagic HDTV 720p60 – 8 Bit. But is this uncompressed?

Well this is something that I am always working with but here is my scenerio right now..

I am working in a DVCPRO HD 720p sequence. I need to render out a Uncompressed quicktime of this sequence to give to someone else. I have no idea what this person is doing with it but they requested uncompressed.

Not sure what my best option would be..

A. Just do a Quicktime Movie self contained current settings quicktime.
B. Do a Quicktime movie self contained but choose Uncompressed.
C. In Quicktime conversion export out a Uncompressed

If i choose A. or B Im not sure if they will be able to open up the Final Cut Movie it will make.
and B and C options are both HUGE files (i might end up doing Apple ProRes if thats the case).

Most important thing is i need to keep this HD and Uncompressed.

No my goal is to have a final UNCOMPRESSED file.
It won’t necessarily be used for AE or to create DVD’s, but my primary goal is to create a Quicktime that is uncompressed (or very close to that, like AppleProRes) but can be used for MAstering and distribution and wont have to worry so much about compatibility.
i.e. a self contained movie out of Final Cut can only be opened if you have Final Cut.
