Hi ZN, You are right. I used to have the same trouble with compressor and gave up using it for anything other than making the occasional DVD a long time ago. I guess I should have tried that. - Verdi On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 4:37 AM, J. N. P. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! I am really not

After our call, JD fiddled around a bit more and came up with the answer to how to set up your Sequence so that you don't *have* to output a full resolution version. Turns out FCP - certainly version 5, which he has - doesn't automatically understand how to handle HDV from a Canon HV20,

I don't think I properly explained how I do this so I'm making a screencast right now. It's pretty simple - no messing with sequence presets plus you create an archive of your work in the process. I'll post it this evening and I'll post back here when it's up. - Verdi On Sat, Oct 25, 2008 at

So I just spent an hour or so on AIM with JD, making it work. So that he can just export once instead of exporting at full resolution and then exporting again smaller. The problem is that the HDV frame size is 1440x1080 (4:3), with an Pixel Aspect Ratio of HD (1440x1080). But the video

First, thanks, Rupert and Michael V. for the quick and incisive responses. I learned a lot today! This is quite interesting (to me, anyway). When I followed Michael's method of exporting a .dv file in FC Pro, opening it in QuickTime Pro, then exporting it as an .mp4, the resulting file was

I highly recommend the following: 1. Export quicktime from FCP. Not conversion, but Quicktime Movie, which defaults to your sequences settings (DV, HDV, whatever). If you don't need a big archival full res master, leave make movie self contained unchecked. 2. Open in Mpeg Streamclip

Oh - and if you are only doing 480 x 270 why HDV? You'll save time (esp. rendering) if you capture it as DV or shoot DV in the first place. On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 8:48 PM, Brook Hinton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I highly recommend the following: 1. Export quicktime from FCP. Not conversion,
