[Avid-L2] Re: QT Ref comes out HD

I'm with Dave on this...

HDV is LongGOP, which cannot be exported via QTref without Transcoding or doing a Video Mixdown.

How did you capture the HDV footage? Over FireWire or Component, SDI or other? Did you capture it at DNx145?

Also, you could've left the sequence in 30i and just captured the HD footage in as DV25 or whatever. There was no need to switch to HD in the first place if you were wanting to stay SD.

But, at this point in time - just do a Video Mixdown at DV25 and do your QTref from that.
