It used to be a consle command only but since version 3.1.1 it is in the Standard setting under Render Settings image interpolation. HQ is used if effect is promoted to 3D and becomes a software based render, no hardware assisted render. Not every effect can use HQ render, which changes to the Polyphase interpolation, but a reposition effect should

You can render effect at 16bit depth instead of 8bit. You can change resize filtering to Bi-Linear instead of closest. You could send it to DS and Render up to 32bit float and use Bi-Cubic filtering. Hope that answers your question.

From the v10_1_2 Read me file: "The RED format is now available in the Avid DS Training Edition, however, when working with RED media, you must use the 64-bit version of the Avid DS Training Edition." Where can I find this, only see a 32-bit version listed. http://www.avid.com/products/tryout.html

REDrushes has more codec choices under DNX resolutions. REDCINE only offers the 10bit setting. In REDrushes you can export an ALE to track original .r3d files. REDCINE you can export an XML file and convert to an ALE. Both workflows should currently render faster than Metafuze 1.2. Hopefully will change greatly with Metafuze 1.3.

Just to calm your fears I am currently conforming a show for HBO with the same workflow, AJ-HDX900 cameras and AJ-HD1800 deck. It works great.

Check out the Panasonic web site. It mentions support for that camera. http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?storeId=11201&catalogId=13051&itemId=191934&catGroupId=14595&surfModel=AJ-HD1800&displayTab=O

Sounds like you should check out the Panasonic AJ-HD1800 vtr. I believe it will playback your tapes at 23.98 over HD-SDI.

If you look at the format heading on your Sequence does it say HD1080p/23.976? If you right click on the sequence and select modify you can change your set format choice to be 1080p/23.976. Once the sequence has been modified to HD then the clips should decompose as HD clips. It should have made a copy of the original SD sequence. Erik
