2. To set the video quali ty, in the lowe r Timel ine toolba r, right -click the
Video Quality button and select Full Quality, or repeatedly click
the Video Quality menu button and cycle through the video quality
settings to green.
Set your sequence to the highest possible video quality. Many edi-
tors switch the video quality to Draft Quality (1/4 resolution) or Best
Performance (1/16 resolution) during offline editing to maximize perfor-
mance. It’s important to change the setting to Full Quality (100 percent
resolution) prior to recording a digital cut.
If you are working in a 29.97 fps NTSC project or a 59.94 fps HD project
and delivering your tape for television broadcast, you may need to change
your timecode format from non-drop-frame to drop-frame. (Drop-frame
timecode doesn’t actually drop physical frames; it just omits specific time-
code numbers so that the timecode on your tape matches the real time.)
If your sequence needs to be converted to drop-frame or non-
drop-frame before recording your digital cut, do the following:
1. With your sequence open in the Timeline, right-click the Record moni-
tor, and select Sequence Report.
2. Click in the Starting TC box and press the semicolon (;) key to change
to drop-frame, or press the colon (:) key to change to non-drop-frame.
3. Click Apply Changes.
Make sure that all your sequence’s audio is set to the same sample rate
before recording a digital cut. Sometimes, you might capture audio at
the project’s audio sample rate but import additional audio at another
sample rate—from a CD, for example. In this case, you must resample the
sequence’s audio to a single sample rate:
