What's your prefered resolution?

[Nya-chan Production]

Would I be too picky if i said i wanted ALL my footage to be 853x480 too? Even my Eureka Seven DVDs which are 4:3? lets say i resized my E7 DVDs to match 16:9, if they are the same AR but not the same height/width, would a minor difference in size affect the project as a whole?

Yes. There's no reason to, really, if they were "made" in different resolutions. It's a bit like having a circle and a square and want to save them both in a same shape. At least one of them will be distorted or cropped (or worse, both of them).

Funimation says to just upscale everything to 1080p =p

I mean no disrespect, but earlier, i mentioned that i cant avisynth on my iMac because of Lion 10.7.1's software incompatibility issue. I REEEEEAALLY DONT WANNA RUN PARALLELS. Crossover and Wine don't work either.

Oh, sorry my bad. I didn't notice you were a Mac user. I guess you're stuck using whatever settings FC lets you use. In this case leaving it at 720x480 and flagging it with the correct AR might not be such a bad choice. Just be careful that any effects/text you add don't get warped by the stretching of your footage.

Did you try the MacPorts solution?

Notice my post in Kionon's guide from May 2010.

You see my dilemma? I can neither use Avisynth, nor Avidemux (properly according to the guide). I have experimented with many things before, but right now, Handbrake is giving me the closest thing to clean footage that I can get. Heres a 853x480 screenshot of my Canaan DVDs i converted using HB:



Thats just a quick pause. During playback, i really can't see much of the excess pixels in her hair. So i guess for now, this'll do. 853x480 seems to work even when i did a test edit with FX and text in FCPX and the AR is still 16:9 (1.777). Well i guess now I have a unique resolution! So if you see a video thats 853x480, thats me!

BTW, has anyone heard of that Toast Titanium Pro Software by Roxio? My curiosity has been piqued by it...

No, seriously, what's the point in editing in something that doesn't give you an option to define your quality and AR? |:

I miss FCP7...

I guess the biggest reason why i'm using FCPX is because i got it for free, so i'm using this for the time being. I'm thinking of going with Adobe Premiere Pro (APP).
