I tried assembling the scene in Final Cut Express. But as you mention exporting stereo with alpha doesn't work.

I'm making a red/blue stereo animation.

Is there a way to specify a layer to be immune from stereo rendering?
Like a background layer.

Thanks.

Awesome, thanks.
I'm pretty sure there's an export option for cropping in FinalCut.
If not, I have a couple of PCs that I can use Virtualdub with.

Thanks!

Render to 720x540, then resize in your video editor as needed. Down-scaling video gives better quality then up-scaling. Ahh, thanks. I wan't sure if there was any rescaling...it gets confusing with square and rectangular pixels. I had rendered my animations at 720x480. But FinalCut squishes it. I h...

My target size is 720x480 (iTunes store)/ 640x480 (YouTube).


Should I render the Anime files out as 720x480? And have Final Cut Express create the different sizes?
Or render the animation as 640x480 and have Final Cut Express create one 720x480 file and one 640x480 file.

Thanks.
