Re: [Avid-L2] Re: OT - footage that looked ok in Seq, has interpolation prob in D

You DON'T want to resize. Are you actually talking about "blanking" as measured by a waveform monitor? Or some black at the bottom of the screen?

If you're ripping from a DVD the video is 480 and if you're editing in Avid, it's probably 486. That is going to create problems if you don't crop/pad the video. Did you try all the options for field importing? (Odd/Even/(the other one))?
