A1 settings?
Hi!
I had a quick question for you guys. I am shooting with a 5d mark2 and a xh a1. I have the a1 set to 1080 30f and I was just wondering what the best settings for my timeline in FCP6 would be. I'm having an awful time exporting and am thinking this may be my issue. Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter. Should I be shooting with different setting in camera or does that sound ok? Any help would be great! Just to add....I've been shooting with all of the same setting for my last couple of jobs and never had these problems.Thanks! Ryan

Your import settings (and your sequence settings) should match the settings used to capture the footage. If the footage you shot is 1080p/30p HDV, there's an HDV setting for 1080p footage recorded at 30 frames a second. Use that as your import setting and sequence setting.

Hi Ryan,
When you say you have problems exporting what exactly is happening? At the expense of larger file sizes your best option is to convert both the 5d and A1 footage to ProRes 422. (The ProRes 422 (LT) in FCS 3 looks great too.) You won't have to conform the timeline when exporting, which is a huge timesaver. Just set up a droplet in Compressor to transcode all your footage to ProRes and let it go overnight.... Quote:

Thanks for the responses guys!
Sean, The one problem I have with the timeline/sequence setting is that I don't see an option for HDV 1080p 30f. There is 1080p 24f and 25f but no option for the 30f .The are options for 1080p 30f but it's not HDV. That's why I wanted to ask you guys what to do.Thanks Joel, When I was trying to export everything was just hanging and giving me general error messages. I finally managed to get a QT movie H.264 out but for some reason compressor won't convert it to an m2v for DVD. I thought this might of been do to my timeline settings. Everything has rendered properly and plays great inside FCP6 preview. It just doesn't want to export. The last try yielded an estimated export time of 11 hrs for a 51 minute video. That was when using quicktime conversion option. When I tried just exporting a quicktime movie it would only process the first couple of seconds of the video and then the audio would play with a black screen. I'm just stumped. Thanks Ryan "the stumped noob"

Thanks Joel!
Could you tell me how to trash render files please. I have no idea how to do that. Thanks again,

Hey,
Tools > Render Manager. Just flip down the triangles of the project that is giving you problems, check the row for those renders in the Remove column, and click ok. |
