Hi maxx, was hoping you would see this thread and chime in. Geeze, those are two different ratios/sizes and the smaller one is not an exactly proportional reduction of the larger, because while 1920x1080 is 16:9, 720x480 is not, 720x405 would be 16:9. (720x756, meanwhile, is practically square and I won't be going there; that would be a compeletely different movie, shot-wise) Therefore, that would seem to call for two spearate renders out of Poser because I would have to believe that if I rendered out of Poser once at 1920x1080, 'downsizing' to 720x480 would produce mathematical garbage. Better to re-render out of Poser at the exact 720x480, I would think. Rats. I guess the compromise would be: 1) clip the outer edges off of a copy of raw 1920x1280 to the exact same ratio as 720x480 and then reduce it; or just reduce it and the hell with it, whatever you get. Thanks for that 1920x1080, someone else told me that was the optimal raw footage size, as well. ::::: Opera :::::
