Re: Export Dimensions

I'm not so sure I can clarify as much as muddy the waters....

When we had XPress Pro,we exported SD at 720X480, 4:3 display. Our ultimate destination is DVD.

On Media Composer, we shoot the majority 16:9, DVCPro 25/50. Avid settings are native, 16:9 display. I used the dimensions of 864x486 in Sorenson, and life seemed good.

However, after giving some footage to a 3d artist, he kept saying the dimensions were 853X480. I brought it into AE, and sure enough, my footage properties showed up as 853X480. I'm using AE 6.5, but I just ordered CS3. Maybe that will clear things up....

My DVD's and .wmv's seem to work fine - I've had no complaints from customers (other than the 3d artist).

I'm not sure what's going on. I've got a pretty heavy workload right now, and I'm just trying to muddle through until I get a break (at this rate, it's gonna' be Christmas...). Hopefully I can solve the case of the missing pixels. Life was so much simpler when all I had to do was give out VHS tape.....

If you find out more, please post.
