Digital Juice

[Raja]

I edit in HD (1440x1080) and SD (720x576) PAL, on separate projects.

When I use my Digital Juice animations that are in HD (1440x1080) on an SD timeline (720x576), are they using more CPU bandwidth, or should I convert the digital juice animations to 720x576 and use them?

Just saves me having to convert 2 sets of the same animations for different projects.

I would just use HD clips, but down convert them with some other program first, EDIUS is not so good with down converting HD in an SD timeline.

I tried creating a PAL widescreen 16:9 SD 720x576 animated background in Juicer 3 (latest build), using the built in preset, but it still comes out 4:3.

I've emailed tech support for juicer, but is there something I'm missing?

I use quite a bit of Digital Juice and have not had a problem at all. However I have not tried Pal. I am out of town until Friday. I will try one then if you still need it. I usually use the Juicer to render out as an HQ avi

Please do try it Pat, as I think there's a problem with the juicer. On the DJ forums people have had this problem even with Juicer 2 and i'm surprised they havn't fixed it in Juicer 3. Thats why I was wondering whether I was doing something wrong.
The NTSC widescreen works OK, its the PAL one that doesn't.

Will do on Friday
