Can I use TimeLapse Digitals clips with a 720×480(DV Resolution) editing system?
Absolutely! Most video edit systems will import TimeLapse Digital QuickTime files directly and automatically convert them to OMF, MPEG-2, or other proprietary formats when necessary. However, certain video editing applications will scale 720×486 footage down to 720×480 instead of cropping it. Please crop the footage because scaling will unnecessarily soften the image. For instance, to crop imported footage in Premiere, use the Image Pan plug-in in the Transform folder to clip 2 lines off the top and 4 lines off the bottom of your footage. To import 720×486 clips into a 720×480 Avid(such as Avid DV Express/Pro), select “Maintain non-square pixels” and “non-interlaced” in the import settings dialog. This will crop 4 pixel rows from the top of the frame and 2 pixel rows from the bottom — thus keeping the fields and the field order intact.
