Re: Media Composer to AfterEffects HD workflow

I've done few of these now so I'll offer a few observations in hopes it will help.

1- For some reason my AE (CS2) never interprets the fielding of Avid QT ref movies correctly. So number one I'd check the interpretation of video clips after you import them into AE.

2- Because of the time it takes to render HD I try to export my files as PNG sequences when possible. I import them into Avid as progressive with no problems.

3- Before you export your QT ref for DVD encoding, make sure you perform a video mixdown leaving no filler on the exported sequence. Also, I encode video and audio separately as elementary streams.

The above has cured DVD fielding issues for me when working with SD and HD Avid/Sorenson/Adobe Encore workflow.
