I'm am working on a music video with footage shot on the Panasonic SDX 900. Its was shot 30fps progressive 16:9 and has no fields. I've never worked in this format before. I usually work at 720x540 square pixles then place eveything in a 720x486 comp to go to digibeta.
What is the best way to get the footage in my project? I was wondering if I could bring the footage into my 720x540 square pixle comp, scale it to the right ratio and put in the letterbox. Is this the way to go? It is all shot on greenscreen and composited with 3d and 2d graphics so I would like to work on it in square pixles to see it undistorted. Then put the whole thing into a 720x486 comp at the end for final output.
If you could let me know if I'm going about this right and what percentage to scale the footage that would be great!
