Clients......I just love 'em.
Cut a :30 spot standard def for air. Tons of large images pan & scan and some 35mm film. Mastered on Digibeta Standard Def 4:3.
Client wants to have their spot "Run in a Movie Theatre". Crazy.....I know.
Anyway, the Encoding facility naturally prefers Hi Def Masters, but will accept a Standard Def 4 : 3 Master with 16 : 9 mask 480i. Exposing my ignorance here, but how can I be sure that I am creating a true 16 : 9 Letterbox mask in DS. In Graphics, I typed the letter "I" in a font that when sized to 525 fills my entire screen top to bottom. If I tell it to be 480 size, will this relate to the mask size?
BTW, I did try to create a new sequence in 16 : 9 and although the images looked OK, the standard 35mm film did not.
ANY suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks....Rick at naked eye
