Re: [Avid-L2] Reformat selection IGNORED with transcode???

I'm having the same problem in MC 6.0x and 6.5.x. It doesn't seem to have
been fixed. When using the Pillarbox/Letterbox option in the bins, the
Transcode does not retain the Reformat info. Is this a known bug? Is the
only other option to use the Reformat effect and render?

Tks
