Exporting in the original format without compression

What is the correct export setting to export a sequence to be saved in its original format?
When I use the setting Export - Quicktime Movie - Setting - Current Settings
Include Audio and Video - Make Movie Self Contained, it looks as though I am losing some of the quality when I view the new Quicktime file. Is this my imagination? If it is not, what is the correct way to create a new file with the edited sequence without any compression?
FCP Version 5.1.4

I have taken old Video 8 tape and converted it to a Quicktime file using FCP log and capture. I used the setting DV NTSC 48 kHz. I then imported the file into FCP and did some basic editing such us taking out the "monkey cam" portions and the really boring segments. I want to be able to save the film for more precise editing later without losing any of the quality of the film. I will compress it when I am done with the fine tuning type of editing.
I will compress it later using the setting - DVD Best Qulity 4:3 - Mpeg 2 5.0 Mbps 2-pass 4:3. Then I will take it into DVD Studio to create the DVD and burn it.

  • My original page is no longer tabbed, and when opening a new tab, I can't go back to the original page without closing all of the tabs.

    In the past, if I didn't have all of the tabs opened, or just opened a new window, the page would still be in a tab if I opened up new tabs. Now, if I hit the "+", I get a tab. I can't get back to the original page without closing all of the tabs.
    Example: I open ebay.com in a window. I hit "+" and go to cnn.com. I want to go back to what I was viewing on ebay, and I can't see it, unless I close the cnn window.

  • How do I eliminate the new Facebook "timeline" and go back to the original format

    how can I get rid of the new "timeline" on Facebook, and go back to the original format ? I was told how to do it in Chrome, and it worked, but I prefer to us FIREFOX. thanks
    I am using the newest Firefox and running Windows 7

    You are correct. It is not fair to blame Firefox for something the idiots at Facebook have done. I have not been impressed by all of the "new" features or changes they have made over the short 2 1/2 years I've been on Facebook. This was just the last straw. Too bad I was fooled into thinking that the latest change was fixable. With all the posts I've read expressing hatred of the new Timeline you would think they would have gotten the message. Perhaps they want folks to stop using it. Or perhaps they think that folks will scream for awhile then knuckle under. Just like the politicians, huh? I don't NEED Facebook. Thanks.

  • KEYNOTE: Why change the format of the presentations? not respect the original format!

    Why change the format of the presentations? Keynote not respect the original format!
    This new versionof Keynot (6.1-1769) is very poor:
    is very slow
    missing fonts
    changes the selected letters
    change the formats of the presentations
    Carousel animations missing
    Please correct the defects before releasing a new version. (The previous version was much better).

    Found the solution!
    I must set the Formats in the CODEC to get the Format that I want to play with! I was trying to complicate too much!
    The correct format class to is RGBFormat.

  • When I receive word documents via my yahoo on my mac, the format always come up as a TEXTEDIT doc.  This is causing me serious problems.  How do I enable my documents to open in the original format it was sent?

    Do you have Microsoft Word installed on your Mac? If so, you can reassign all .doc files to Word by selecting the file in Finder and choosing "File > Get Info" from the menu. In the window that opens look for "Open with" and change the entry to "Microsoft Word".

  • Since I have upgraded to Maverick, I can't seem to export in the m4v format.  Am I just missing it?

    Since I upgraded to Mavericks, I can't seem to export in the m4v format in imovie.  Am I just missing it? 

    .m4v isn't a "format" and is just a file extension.
    In the Mac OS an .m4v file would be opened and played by iTunes instead of QuickTime. That's all the extension is used for and you wan't to use .mp4 or .mov.

  • Any way to export project to original format (dv) without loosin quality?

    I know that many has been said in the forum of exporting and file formats, and I have read lots of posts relating the topic, but I need to put another question concerning the issue.
    I have a MiniDV video camera and use iMovie08.
    I just want to select wich clips I use, join some of them to make a short video and save them as mp4 or mov format to save on disk and delete the .dv original files.
    I don't want in the process to loose much quality.
    I know how to do it with iMovie but the results are not good, because I notice a big loose in brightness and color that affect every clip.
    I have try to convert one clip using ffmpegx with the h.264 (x264) setting and the result was very good and fast.
    I them decide to export in imovie to .dv thinking that I will get the original quality and them compress with ffmpegx but even this setting get the same loose in brigthness and color.
    I know that there are some filters to adjust the output but they are very time consuming and I do not need them with ffmpegx.
    1.- Why the loose of brightness and color in every imovie setting? The settings with ffmpegx are nearly the same and that doesn't happen.
    2.- Is there a way to export out of imovie to convert in ffmepx without loosing any quality?
    Thank's very much.

  • How do I save in the original format

    I recorded a cover band and my camcorder split the video into several 2GB .MTS clips.  The bigger point is that there is LOTS of dead time, breaks, etc.  I'd like to know how to 1) edit an original 2GB MTS file, remove the dead spots and replace the original MTS file with the optimized result in MTS format. 2) I'd like to combine all of the optimized MTS files into one large MTS file.  That file would stay on my hard drive for years and all project files (today and in the future) would reference this single, optimized file.  I would delete the original files from my camcorder and laptop.
    FYI: I simply copied the files via USB from my camcorder to my laptop.  I'm not married to the MTS file format, that's just the format I got when I coped the files.
    Thanks!!

    When you go to "Computer," you should then see the formats available, and choose MS AVI. That should bring up the Video, Audio and Multiplexing tabs. Under Video, you should have a Compression (depending on version, you might have to go to Advanced) drop-down, where you would choose Lagarith, or UT.
    This is a look at the screen from PrE 4.0, which will be a bit different from your version, but will give you a general idea of the Advanced settings for the Share:
    Hope that this helps, and does not confuse you (that potential is why I hesitated to post this - being from a previous version), and helps you locate the Compression/CODEC drop-down.
    Good luck,

  • Archive files are in XML format and not in the original format

    Hi all,
    I am using a receiver file adapter with archiving option. When I look at the archive files they are in the XML converted format and not in the original flat file format received. We would like to store these files for audit purpose and it doesnt make sense to store XML files. We are in SP04. Does a note need to be applied or any other extra configurations need to be done which I might have missed? Please advise.
    -Teresa

    Hi,
    >>>Wow, the note says its fixed in SP10
    but only the split is fixed not the XML messages in the archive I think (from the note)
    >>>Is there any alternative quick fix and I hate manual work
    create 2 new folders - connect one of them with the file adapter and the second one remains for archives
    in you normal destination folder for your files add a simple program that will check if there are any files and copy them to those two folders - this could be the fastes but obviously not the best solution I guess
    Regards,

  • Changing the partition format without reinstall the Mac OS X

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to change the file system format of the partition without needed to reinstall the OS X ?
    E.g. "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" > "Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)"
    this link will give an idea of list of file system format available http://images.macworld.com/images/legacy/2006/10/images/content/pickformat.jpg
    The main reason I need this is because of I wish to avoid reinstallation as it take time to install and update to latest patch...
    I have MacBook with 3 partitions with formated to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" on all 3 partitions. 1st and 2nd partition installed Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, and created an image (by using carbon copy cloner) for each partition and saved it into 3rd partition as backup.
    I tried to below but it doesn't help:
    1. Boot into 10.7.
    2. Erase the 1st partition 10.6, reformat it to "Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)".
    3. Restore 10.6 image that created previously.
    4. After restore completed, the 1st partition file system format back to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
    Is there's anyway to change the partition file system format without needed reinstall Mac OS X ?

    Or is there any backup tool that it will only back file and folder level but not file system format ??
    That what all backup tools do.
    If so, then I can create a backup image of the existing entire partition file and folder only, then reformat the partition to case-sensitive, then restore back the file and folder...
    Yes, that's what I'm suggesting. Be aware that it's a one-way conversion. Once you have a case-sensitive file system, you generally can't go back to case-insensitive without losing data. I hope you have a good reason for wanting to do this and that you know how to deal with the problems it may cause.

  • Sorting songs in Compilations and the original albums without multiples

    I have a number of compilations as well as many, many albums in my Library. Is there a way to easily sort them in to, possibly, multiple compilations and let them remain in their original album as well?
    It's hard to believe that I'm the first one to ask this but I can't find it in a search. Thanks a bunch.

    If I understand correctly, you have two copies of Song A; in the original album and in a compilation album (like a movie soundtrack). You want to have one copy of the song connected to both albums.
    I would make one of the albums, probably the compilation, a playlist. Then you could delete the duplicates of the song. Instead of playing the compilation album directly from your music folder you'd have to use the playlist.
    Its not exactly what you want to do, but I don't think its possible to do what you would like to do. I'd love to be proved wrong though.

  • Using the original iPhone without service

    i just switched to the iPhone 3Gs...as for my original iPhone, i know i can still use it as an iPod. and i can still use safari and maps but with WiFi, correct?...if so, can i use the Appstore icon and iTunes icon on the phone? and how would that work in regards to adding it to iTunes on my computer?
    also, if i want to give my original iPhone to someone else, what do i have to do? remove the sim card? how would i reset the original phone to its original setting, wiping it clean of anything i added on to it(phone numbers, music, movies, apps)?

    Any app you can use over Wi-Fi will work just the same. iTunes will happily sync with multiple devices. As long as you are using the same iTunes Store account on computer, iPhone and de-activated iPhone, purchases should freely move around among the three.
    To use the old phone as an iPod touch, make sure it keeps the SIM card, as here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406
    To clear out the info, you can either Restore as New via iTunes, or on the phone use Settings>General>Reset which has several options.

  • My macbook went back to the original format and I cannot access anything from my desktop, website, etc

    I restarted my macbook today and when I signed back in, it was completely messed up.  There are question marks in the dock and nothing is loaded that is suppose to be there (my photos, files, music, etc).  Is my computer junked or what happened?  I am a teacher and it is property of the school so I am not sure what I can do.  Please help!!!

    ? in the Dock is not something tragic, as these are links, not the originals. First of all, determine if anything is missing in the original locations: apps must be in Applications folder (or in any other folder you may have added), files in Documents or where you put them etc. You may remove those ?’s by dragging them up from the Dock. If all original files are there, you have not lost anything, it is just a strage behavior of the system. This is strange and difficult to reproduce, so you must give some details, if need be.
    Once an app is started, it automatically adds its icon to the Dock, right click on it, then choose Keep in Dock. You must repeat them with all apps you wish to have there. Alternatively, you may simply drag their icon to the Dock, and a link will be added, even if they are not active.

  • My yahoo.mail email window has spontaneously minimized, thus making it impossible to read without a magnifying glass......how can I restore the original format?

    The email display has "shrunk" into the upper left corner of the window. I can view the same email info without any problems with Safari. I prefer the Firefox server/format, so I would really appreciate any help in resolving this issue. Thanks

    Please update to Firefox 32 ([[Update Firefox to the latest version]]) and then try reading [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]]
