My bad. Was in a generic mind set. Yes should use 29.97. NeoScene actually converts to that. The Pre-set says HD 30p, but I think it is set to 29.97, and if it is not, I would change it.

I would be really happy if I knew I had the correct settings when making my mpeg 2 file in compressor for SD delivery. Right now I am just using the standard best dvd quality settings. Is there some better settings that I am not aware of? I am using Encore to author the dvd.

Which of these Mac workflows addresses the misinterpretation of the footage by Final Cut (ie: more information available in the darks and the lights) - is the only way to get this information by taking the clips into Color? If so (for those of us not familiar with Color), is there a tutorial on this? I hate to say it - I'm a fairly smart guy - but I opened Color and couldn't figure out how to bring in a single clip (versus sending a sequence from Final Cut), adjusting and then exporting out the new QT file... Then again, I've never used Color before, so that may be half my problem...

For most people this was fixed with a Quicktime update months ago - make sure you're updated to the latest version. I seem to be one of the few that this didn't work for, but MPEG Streamclip interprets the color correctly for me now so as long as I use it to do the conversion to an editing format I end up with the full range.

I think this is a good idea... Workflow is constantly being brought up around here. I think it's largely part due to photographers working with video for the first time.

Everybody has a different workflow depending on the project, and depending what operating system they're using. I think it would be sweet to have a sticky for mac, pc, vimeo, broadcast, dvd, etc. you name it. Make it happen, Chris.
