[Avid-L2] Problem importing HD files into SD system

What version of Newsucttter?

I believe recent versions have Mix and Match, just like MC.

Import or AMA/Transcode into a 720p 59.94 project, NOT your SD project.

Open the bin from the 720p project from within your SD project (File/Open
Bin). If your SD project is 4:3, make the Reformat column visible in the
bin and select how you want to handle things (Letterbox, Center Cut)

Edit into your sequence. You should have a green dot on the clip. If the
real time motion adapter looks satisfactory, you are done. If not, promote
to Timewarp (is this in Newscutter?). Try one of the other motion effect
settings to see if quality improves (Blended Interpoloated is a good one to
try).
