Re: SD to HD sequence conversion

[Scott Malkie <ltc.vitc(at)gmail.com>]

I believe the DS has rough limit of 6k by 6k, so it's probably choking on the 8k file.   If it won't destroy your animation, try resizing it in Photoshop to 6000 pixels wide before linking.

HTH,
Scott

Thanks again.  Do you mean by that everything should be "centre, keep original size"?

                Mmmhh...That could be it...Dropping you link directly in the HD
                should take a bit less memory.

                SIDENOTE: Unless all media conversions are set to keep the media size as is
                (in both SD and HD), your SD "preview" won't necessarily show you what you will
                get when dropping the link clip inside the HD sequence.

        Thanks Benoit.
        The sequence is just one clip that I've been working on.  I thought it'd be quicker for preview if I did it in SD first but I think that the linked file may be too big, especially if the system has to calculate two aspect ratio conversions on top of it.  It's a map of the world, about 8200 pixels wide.

                        Hi John

                        Have you tried splitting your work in several sequences?
                        This should help a bit. The "multiple conversion" tag on your clips
                        is expected: it's the conversion from your link file to SD, and then to
                        HD.

                        Ben

                Hi everyone.

                I'm designed an animation using a hi res linked file at SD res.  I thought that I would then be able to pull the whole animation into a high res seqence but if I do this I get an "insufficient memory" error.  I cannot play back or render the clip.  If I look at the conversion mode of the clip it says "multiple conversions".

                If I was designing this clip from scratch in HD I'm sure that the system could handle it.  Is there anything I'm missing?

                Thanks,

                John
