768 x 576 or 720 x 576 in FC Express ?
Hi,
I and some other in my shcool group work at present with an animation project where we are combining three software programs: Flash 8, After Effects and Final Cut Express HD (to put together the animated pices into a movie).
But, we have an issue about which format(size) we should be dealing with during the production. We are here talking about the PAL-format. On the first hand I have been told we should go for 768x576 (standard PAL-format). IS this right? Should Do I have to use this size in Flash and AE when it afterwards should be imported in Final Cut E? I am not quite sure, because isn't FCE using 720x576? This resolution size is also including DV and DVD, right?
When I am importing a exported flash movie into Final Cut (768x576), the clip gets black stripes by the all sides of the pictures. Strange. But, if I import 720x576 materials these stripes are gone and the picture fit the entire screen (this is on a computer screen, not television/monitors).
I hope someone can explain and get me to descide which PAL-size we should be using forwards. 768x576 or 720x576? That's the question. Thanking you in advance for your help.
