Re: Timewarp Headache

[Jef Huey <jhuey(at)henninger.com>]

Here is a very different theory.  I have not tried it in DS.  Did 
something similar in smoke before they became truly res independant.

Make a 1080 29.97 project.

Import SD footage so that it stays SD size (postage stamp in middle of 
screen).

Import 1080 23.98 footage.

Time warp and repo the 1080 23.98 based on the edges of the SD footage.  
(A mask over the screen would help keep you honest.)

Export with a 720 x 486 crop back to SD project.

Does that make sense?  Would it even work?
