Ok, so we are editing in FCP 2 using DVCPRO HD 720p60p (codec). We also shot in 16x9. I also know that, you have to talk to your local networks about their specifications for that particular network. So, I'm editing this commercial for a local business and I'm almost done with it. So here are my questions.
When I export it, How do I go about exporting it?
When I export it, should I export it to a digitabeta tape from FCP?
What kind of questions should I ask the network when It comes to this type of thing?
What is the turn out of I shoot 16x9 for a 4x3 network? is there ways to export as a 4x3 but still look like a 16x9 image when playback?
If there is any questions I'm missing, please fill free to ask...
Thanks,
Murray

Digital Betacam is an SD format and can be 16:9 or 4:3.
If the ad is intended only for a local TV station, talk to them directly. For regional to national distribution you usually go through an intermediary that converts to various formats needed by the various individual stations.
