Re: Workflow from FCP to AE back to FCP
by Brendan Coots on Jan 11, 2009 at 11:44:04 pm

Subcomp the footage into a DVCPRO HD 960x720 1.33 PAR comp. Nest this "footage" composition into a new 1280x720 square pixel composition. Apply any effects, keying etc. to the nested comp (call the comp raw_footage or something). Once you're done, output from this 1280x720 square pixel comp, and make sure it's outputting a square pixel file just like the comp settings. In her edit (assuming she's using FCP) it should properly drop in to the edit without issue even though her other footage is 960x720 with PAR. Do a test to make sure this all works as expected before going into production.

Also, it seems a little odd that you are seeing 720p60 AND 24p in the settings. 720p60 refers to 60i, otherwise known as standard old 29.97. 24p is usually 29.97 with pulldown, but the two are definitely different frame rates. Strange that it is listing two different flavors of frame rate, you may want to do some testing to make sure your AE output plays back properly in her edit given these anomalies.
