LiveType

Is anyone using LiveType when shooting 24P Advanced?

If so can you tell me what your LiveType project settings are?

I am trying to create the correct custom setting and so far I have this:

Width: 720
Height: 480
Frame Rate: 23.98

But I don't know what to select for:

Field Dominance: None, Upper (odd), or Lower (even)
Pixel Aspect: .9 or ???
Time Format: SMPTE Drop, SMPTE, or Frames

Thanks,

Chris

p.s. My current project was shot 4/3 in letterbox mode. My next project will be shot with the anamorphic lens. Can you tell me what settings I would need to change for that?
 
Re: LiveType

Your settings are correct. Set fields to none since you're doing progressive at 24fps (no field interlacing)
Pixel aspect: .9
SMPTE Drop would match 24fps captured. You could also deal in frames if you wished.

I haven't done any anamorphic but you shoudl be able to set it up (May be a preset for anamorphic 29.97 that you could check)
 
Re: LiveType

I'm working with 24p used with the digital squeeze 16:9 (not the lense). My presets in FC are great with the DV NTSC Advanced Pulldown 2:3:3:2, AND with Anamorphic selected.

Since my sequence presets are still at 29.97, I didn't change the settings in LiveType. When it comes to graphics, I've used my eyes to see if the settings looked squashed or stretched and manually adjusted them in FC in the canvas.
