I would check these things: -project video size open "Settings->Format" (or Shift-F) and check that the video width/height matches PAL (or use the PAL Preset). Make sure interlacing is marked as progressive.
-track video size On your HD video track right-click and select "Resize track". It needs to match your actual HD video size, so 1024x768 in your case. This unfortunately defaults to the project size in my case, so this might be your problem. -translate effect settings You need to translate both the size (width/height) and the location onscreen. The "InX" and "InY" settings should 0. The "OutX" and "OutY" settings need to place the final image in the center of the HD resolution. You can either just adjust these settings until it looks right in the compositor, or use this formula to figure the right numbers. OutX = (InW - OutW) / 2 OutY = (InH - OutH) / 2 You do not need to adjust the camera or projector automation at all. On 5/10/07, Edouard Chalaron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi there I have somehow the same issue here. I tried to "translate" from a 1024x768 progressive frames to PAL mpeg2 as a final rendering and it gives a small video in a corner of a big frame... Did I miss anything ? Thanks E On Wed, 2007-05-09 at 18:06 -0400, Dan Streetman wrote: Not at all, you can do that. For example you could load up the original 1080i in cinelerra, add "deinterlace" and "translate" effects (to convert from i to p and 1080 to 720), and then render the file. There are many render formats that cinelerra can read back, I would probably stick with mpeg2 (which unfortunately in cinelerra means you have to render video and audio separately and mplex them back together before re-loading into cinelerra). But again, why do you want to do this? If you are just going to load the 720p file back into cinelerra, why not just use the 1080i file directly instead?
