486 Footage


click to expand

Sometimes we still deal with footage shot on Beta SP or footage that has been onlined at 720x486. If you are ever working with 486 footage:

  • Import the file into After Effects.

  • Make a new 720x480 composition.

  • Drag the footage into the timeline.

  • Select the layer and move its position one pixel up or down.

You are cropping a couple of lines off the top, and four off the bottom but you won't miss them. You need to move the file by one pixel to preserve the field order.
