Adding a crop node after the resize node set to 486 [Apply Crop] seems to
override the problem.

My Output is 486 then and compared with a Photoshop scaled down version it
seems to match except a minimal difference in the blur of scaling ... seem
to work[around].

Not really satisfying ...

Yep,  there is still a problem in V5

Try using absolute pixel size = 720*486, it will give you a render of
720*487.
I did an HD job last week and I also delivered a rescale D1 NTSC croped
version. My D1 was 720*487... original but a bit embarassing...

Anyway, here is another one I find much more annoying

Try that:
- load any pic
- crop 50 pixels right and left (the preview is ok)
- render (the render is not ok, you get 50 pixels of black on the left)

You can work around it using an extra "Transorm 3D" node but It is quite
inconvenient and not WYSIWYG, it does look like a bug

Here is the script (you need to load your own pic)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AddFxOp "FxTree", "Crop"
AddFxOp "FxTree", "File Output"
SetFxOpPos "FxTree.FileOutput", 216, 342 SetFxOpPos "FxTree.Crop", 214, 242
ConnectFxOp "FxTree.FileIn", "FxTree.Crop", "1"
ConnectFxOp "FxTree.Crop", "FxTree.FileOutput", "1"
SetPaintStore "FxTree.FileIn"
SetValue "FxTree.FileIn.FileName", "YOURPIC.pic"
SetPaintStore "FxTree.Crop"
SetValue "FxTree.Crop.OutputCropRectangle.Left", 50 SetValue
"FxTree.Crop.OutputCropRectangle.Right", 670 SetPaintStore
"FxTree.FileOutput"
SetValue "FxTree.FileOutput.EndFrame", 1 RenderFxOp "FxTree.FileOutput"
SetValue "FxTree.FileOutput.LaunchFlipbook", False Flipbook "" & Chr(34) &
"YOURCOMP.pic" & Chr(34) & " 1 1 1 29.970030"
Copy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you also checked Apply Crop in Output Crop [720 486]?

Transform3d doesn't work I don't think.  How do you set it to 720x486?  I 
tried adjusting the y scale to a value of .8 which it says is 720x486 but 
clearly its now too squashed.

So what is the result at the end when you go through Resize or Transform3D?
Do you get visual problems, fragments or is the color depth of the original
input messed up?

When I try here I don't see any problems I know from Tint here ...

Any chance the resize node in the FX Tree could be fixed!!!  That
thing is
driving us nuts for the past few versions of XSI.
