CHAPTER 6: IMPORTING, EXPORTING, AND DIGITAL CUT ■

Let’s take a look at each of these options as they appear in the import options in

your software.

601, Non-Square This option is chosen for graphics that have already been fully

prepped for import to Free DV and Xpress Pro. These images use non-square (the

proper nomenclature for the pixel shape) pixels and the correct size. You can use this

option when importing any image with non-square pixels that maintains a 4:3 aspect

ratio. If images are not big enough to fill the frame (smaller than 720

×486), they will

have a black border around them.

Maintain, Non-Square An image that is imported using this option has the correct

aspect ratio. It prevents a graphic from being squished or distorted when imported. It is

used when the image contains the correct non-square pixels, but might be larger or

smaller in dimension. If the image is too big (beyond the 720

×480 norm for NTSC DV

or the 720

×586 norm for PAL DV) the image will be mapped into the shape. If the

image is too small (as shown in Figure 6.4), black borders will be inserted.

Using this option does not resize the image; it is primarily used for importing

standard NTSC images, in which the dimensions are 720

×486. Using this option will

crop six of the horizontal lines, bringing the image down to the DV standard of

720

×480. If the image is too large, only the middle of the image will be imported,

cropping off any portion of the image larger than the standard import size.

Maintain, Square You can use this import option if you want to maintain the original

image size. This option is used primarily for importing logos, icons, and other items

that do not necessarily have to fill the screen. With this option, Free DV and Xpress

Pro recognize that the original contains square pixels and will adjust to fit the proper

aspect, but it will not resize the image to attempt to fill the screen (see Figure 6.5). You

can also use this option for normal full-sized files at 720

×540.

Maintain and Resize, Square Free DV and Xpress Pro use this option to take an image

that was created with square pixels and fill it to the largest dimension possible, adding

black borders on the other dimension to maintain the correct aspect ratio. Tall skinny
