Re: [Avid-L2] downconverting to SD for DVD

 

If you really want to work in SD for off-line you could go old fashion
and just import the QTs into the Avid project and let it handle the
scaling on import.

Or work with HD off-line (AMA or import and transcode to MXF) and then
do the downconvert to SD during the last step.
