HDV video is 1080i60, FCE exports as 1080i50?

Exporting my 1080i60 project using the FCE "qucktime export" shows us as a 1080i50 file when played in QT. Also encodes to a PAL DVD format when using Compressor.

Select the sequence in the browser and go to item properties. What exactly does it say? What export function are you using?

  • HDV video is 1080i60, FCP exports as 1080i50?

    Exporting my 1080i60 project using the FCP basic "qucktime export" shows up as a 1080i50 file when played in QT. Also encodes to a PAL DVD format when using Compressor. The "easy setup" menu shows the proj as 1080i60.
    Edit: I also checked the imported HDV video in QT and the "Item Properties" for FCP. They both show up as 1080i60. The camera I am using is a HDR HC1 1080i60.

    go to the compressor type column in the browser and compare your footage and sequence settings. make sure they all match.

  • 16:9 print to video - 16:9 Quicktime Export

    Sorry to bother again this those same old 16:9 questions.
    1) I have my 16:9 material imported and edited (of course, I have set the configuration for PAL Anamorphotic). What happens, when I go print to video? Does FCE export true 16:9 or does it in fact export a 4:3 letterboxed movie?
    2). I'd like to publish some of my work on the web. But when I export the FCE-Movie to Quicktime, i get a 4:3 movie with letterbox. Is there anyway to fix this, or at least to crop away the black bars.

    actually i misread Philippe's statement. If he is truly talking about "Print to Video" -> which would imply he goes to tape over firewire or whatever connection he has <- then i must pass. I have not done that before, so my knowledge is purely theoretical.
    I do assume for now that if you are using Print to Video that you would have to the letterboxing yourself. From my recollection of using video to do this, VCRs/Tapes do not have the ability to take widescreen material and letterbox it automatically during playback pending TV etc.
    But i might be wrong there. I doubt it though. VCRs never really struck me as intelligent devices - that's why they worked

  • What export options in Quicktime Pro or Final Cut Pro should I select to export  HDV video in .MOV files to highest quality Windows-compatible files?

    I have some HDV video files imported through iMovie to .MOV files with Apple Intermediate Codec.
    I need to convert these to Windows compatible video files of the highest possible ( least loss) quality.  What export options in Final Cut Pro or in Quicktime Pro should I select?  The codex in the converted files must not be Apple Intermediate Codec, for which there is no Windows version.

    Okay, I read the whole Flip4Mac website.
    Flip4Mac is an application for Apple computers. 
    Perhaps my question was unclear.  When I posed it I was thinking of asking somebody with an Apple shop to do the conversion for me, and wanted advice on settings for his QUicktime Pro /Final Cut Pro that would produce the highest quality Windows -compatible files.
    The Windows version of Quicktime will not play Quicktime files with Apple Intermediate Codec.  You get black screen video, although the audio does come through.
    So here's what I need:  I need a Windows application that will transcode Quicktime files in Apple Intermediate Codec, with no loss or very little loss, to WIndows-compatible files.   All Windows, all the time.  Thank you.

  • Print to Video, Playback Output Video for 1080i60 Codec?

    Could someone who is using Final Cut Express 4.0 please check the characteristics under Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, as to whether FCE 4.0 provides a “Playback Output Video” capability.
    In FCE 3.5, the pull down menu: Final Cut Express HD / Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, “Playback Output Video” is not available, ie “None”.
    I have been using the “Print to Video” command within Final Cut Express 3.5 to export my edited video (NTSC 720x480) back onto my Sony mini DV TRV70 camcorder for archival purposes. This is usually something I do after burning discs using iDVD.
    I’m about to purchase a Canon HV30 hi-def camcorder, and in the same way, would like to archive my hi def edited videos, ......that is, after burning some DVD’s, I want to archive the entire 1080i60 version back onto tape using the Print to Video command and Rec Cntrl function of the camcorder. However, the “Playback Output Video” feature of FCE 3.5 for 1080i60 seems to be “None”.
    Appreciate any info as to whether FCE 4.0 has this feature, or are there any other ideas out there that would accomplish the same objective.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Michel (Bonjour)
    Thanks again for responding, and providing a number of good references for Blu Ray burning and burners.
    I recently “captured” a short Hi Def, 2 minute bird feeder video from my Canon HV30 with Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and placed the imported segment on the Time Line viewer. All of this with FCE set in the 1080i60 AIC codec.
    With no editing nor transitions nor effects, I then did a “Print to Video” of this Time Line segment, and recorded it back onto the Canon, positioning it on the tape directly following the original recording.
    I then rewound the mini DV tape, and played back the two videos from the Canon into my high definition Samsung via HDMI. I couldn’t tell the difference between the two video samples, …….the original recording compared with the copy that was captured by FCE and re-recorded back onto tape.
    I then took this same Time Line segment, exported to a QuickTime self contained movie (sequence), and then dragged that QT sequence into iDVD (Version 7.0.3) widescreen theme pane. It took about 30 minutes to process and burn that same short ( ~2 min) segment to a DVD using my iMac 2.1Ghz G5 w/ standard Super Drive.
    I then played back that DVD disc on my HD Samsung through a standard DVD Player (no up converting capability) and could see a good rendition of the video sample, but fuzzy in spots especially during slow panning, …..a good video but NOT certainly the Hi Definition quality that I saw during playback from the Canon mini DV tape playback.
    A question for you experts……is the degradation seen during DVD playback caused by the iDVD software not producing a 1060i Hi Def rendition, ….or is the DVD ok and the fact that I did not have an unconverting or Blu Ray DVD player the reason for the lack of non hi-def quality from the DVD?
    Michel, …..I have not as yet purchased Toast 10 with the HD plugin. Would you expect that I would see an improved version, ….a nearly Hi Def rendition if I had used Toast 10 instead of iDVD? Or do I have to go the distance!…….that is, Toast 10, a Blu Ray burner, and Blu Ray Player as well!…..to see a version of my 2 minute sample as good as what my Canon HV30 playback is showing me?
    Once again, Thanks in advance

  • Question? Best Workflow HD/HDV and Reframing/Scaling to Export to both HD and SD when working in an HD Timeline?

    Just wondering, what is the best method for working with HD Footage both HDV 1440x1080 and HD 1920x1080
    Not long been using Adobe Premiere Pro CC, just switched over from Grass Valley EDIUS 6.08 and atempting my first Stage Show Multi Camera.
    Source is 5 HDV PAL and 1x1920x180 60fps MP4 file from a Sanyo Handy Cam.
    Final delivery is going to be DVD.
    Have done a few smaller projects prior to and normally have edited in HDV 1440x1080 50i PAL and exported to whatever format I need.
    Slightly different this time, I need to I need to crop/reframe some video from a couple of the Static locked off cameras. I know what to do but at moment though, I'm very much undecided which method to use for best results.
    Doing some testing I notice that if I import the footage and edit in my usual  HD Timeline as said above, then I go into Motion and Scale and reframe to suit, then the picture still
    looks better still Full Screen on my 2nd Monitor in the HD Timeline than if I switch the Sequence Settings to SD DV PAL.
    I am wondering how the scaler works when exporting. Say I go with the original HD Sequence, scale the Locked off Shots as I want them, then export to SD DV PAL then does the Adobe Media Encoder take into account that I am working in a HD Sequence (HDV 1440x1080 50i PAL) and then Scale to suit or does upscaling go in an HD Timeline then Exporting to SD make things worse, I am asking this as I still like to have the option to output an HD file for the Web and possible Bluray or Mobile Device later on.
    I also still prefer working in an HD Timeline as for the other Camera Angles, then it is easier to judge focus since the image is sharper, as apposed to working in an SD Sequence.
    I guess the other option I suppose is to edit in HD and then switch the Sequence Settings later on to SD before Export, but not sure that would work with the scaling? Or is that the same as working in an HD Timeline anyway and then selecting an SD Preset in the Adobe Media Encoder anyway?
    I guess what I am saying is, if I say for example, Scale a HDV source to 130% or then export to SD in the AME then, is the AME upscalling the original HDV Source to 130% Loosing Quality firstly (making less pixels that to begin with), then downscaling back again to 100% SD Resolution, loosing quality once more, or does it see that the source is HD and has more pixels to use and take that into account? If you get what I am saying. Obviously if I am exporting to any HD Format then, I understand that where will be some quality lose with any amount of HD scale.
    I also read that it is less CPU resource full working in the native resolution of the media when editing, especially on an older system.
    The other option is to work in an 720 Preset possiblely?
    At the moment I don't have a proper Preview device and am making do with the 2nd Display on my Graphics Card GTX 760.
    I was looking at getting a Blackmagic Device for preview, or possible one of the Matrox.
    It is a shame really, since I already have the Canopus HD Storm in the PC, which I was using with EDIUS for a lovely full screen preview to a 32" TV, since looked great, so since switthcing to Premiere, I can't use it and am having to make do with the GTX 760. Which isn't as good.
    Maybe there is some setting I can alter to get a better Playback Image?
    Anyway, I notice that the Full Screen Image from the GTX 760 is not as clear as it should be when editing, especially whilst playing back the image is slightly soft and more so when in the Multicam Mode it is even softer.
    I am not sure if this is because my computer is not quiet fast enough? Maybe I should post this in a seperate thread in the Hardware forum, but I thought it was worth mentioned in this post aswell.
    SYSTEM SPECS
    Gigabyte EP45-UD3LR (Socket 775) Motherboard
    8GB DDR PC-800 RAM (4x2 Sticks)
    Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9650 @ 3.00GHz
    60GB OCZ SSD (FM-25S2S-60GBP2 ATA Device)
    2 TB 7200 Sata 300 Hard Drive - For Video (Hitachi HDS722020ALA330 ATA Device)
    Windows 7 SP1 x64
    So in short At the moment I am undecided which method is best to use

    Your Creative camera is not the best one could wish for. Open a 1280 x 720 sequence, import some Creative footage, use motion scale to fit it in and judge the quality for yourself. My guess is you will be disappointed in the quality. Then when outputting to DVD you will reduce the resolution and quality again, making it even worse.
    So, my suggestion is, don't follow that route.
    Ultimately you will end up with 720 x 576 material for your DVD. You already need to upscale your Creative footage, and change the PAR and take serious quality hits, do not increase your problems by upscaling and then downscaling again.

  • 16:9 Help needed. Workflow: extracted video from DVD, FCE HD edit & DVDSP.

    Hi,
    I have a project where according to the camera person it was shot in 16:9 with the camera (assuming a DV camcorder of some sort). It was captured from the camera and converted to a DVD (VIDEO_TS folder and everything) and sent to me for editing.
    What I need help with is a workflow (and settings) to edit and output this properly.
    1) My first hiccup comes in the extract. When I view the DVD that was sent to me, the video looks squished as it squeezes the video into the 4:3 aspect ratio. I was using MPEG Streamclip to extract it. I've extracted it in a 16:9 QT format and it looks fine in FCE HD. However, once I started reading more about editing 16:9 video in the FCE PDF manual, I'm wondering if I should have kept it as 4:3 and then toggled the Anamorphic setting for the sequence.
    2) Once I have the correct source to edit - are there any considerations on export for compression? I read somewhere about a program to set the anamorpgic bit for iDVD, but plan to use DVDSP so I'm assuming I can skip this step. I also read in the forum about a QT Conversion setting to use. Do I need to? I was planning to export a reference movie and use Compressor with that. I was planning to use a "Widescreen" compressor option. Is this correct?
    3) I know this is beyond this forum, but any advice on what settings should I use in producing the DVD? As noted above I plan to use DVDSP 3 to create the DVD, and I do notice the 16:9 settings in there for each track. I was planning to use the 16:9 Letterbox track setting. Is this correct?
    Any other pitfalls I should be aware of as I navigate the 16:9 jungle?
    Thanks in advance.

    First, with regard to your chipset - graphics/video card:
    Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset, featuring the Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 450...
    Your graphics card has no video RAM (VRAM) of its own.  So, it must use some of your system RAM to be able to function. This is 'dynamically allocated'. That is, your system decides how much system RAM to allocate to the graphics card. I am not aware of anyway to manually control this.
    Next, you said you have installed Windows XP. Toshiba India has not posted any XP drivers for your system. Toshiba laptops are very finicky about using Toshiba 'tweaked' hardware drivers to be able to function properly. This computer is a Toshiba European version of your model, and it would appear to have a full set of XP drivers, these will work just fine in your system:
    Satellite Pro C650 PSC11E Downloads
    The order you load the hardware drivers and Toshiba utilities is critical. The files available for download above are all zip files, so you will have to extract the .exe files to be able to install them. Install the drivers first, then the Toshiba utilities, and given that you already have XP basically working install in this order:
    1st Drivers:
    1) Chipset
    2) Storage Manager
    3) Display
    4) Sound
    5) then all other XP hardware drivers
    2nd Utilities:
    1) Common modules
    2) Hotkey utility
    3) all other XP Toshiba utilities.
    Good luck.

  • What are the correct setup and system settings for importing HDV video from tape?

    I keep trying different "easy setups" and system settings/preferences in order to import both the audio and video from HDV recordings on miniDV tape to no avail in either FCE4 or FCP5.  I import via firewire from the camera.  My computer "sees" the camera and controls playback (I can hear the audio) but no video displays for capture (just color bars).
    My camera is a Canon Vixia HV40 and my computer is a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I've tried the HDV easy setup...no video...
    I've tried HDV 1080i/60 as I saw recommended somewhere else...no video...
    Captures standard video just fine but I'd like to try editing some higher def footage.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks.

    The combination of all these helpful ideas solved the problem.
    I set AV settings to HD and Apple Intermediate Codec HDV 1080i/60 AND set the cameras output to "locked" HDV.  Funny, it had been on "A" (Auto) before and should have simply sensed the need for HD output.  I then tried to capture using "A" again and this time it detected the difference between SD footage and HDV footage (I had clips of both kinds on the same tape).
    I ran similar capture tests on FCP 5.1, FCE 4, and FCPX and all three programs captured HDV video and audio.
    Thanks again everyone.  Be sure the camera is set to output HDV or "A".

  • FCE Exporting Nightmares...Motion artifact

    I've done nearly a dozen projects now in FCE 4, but still can never get the same export format to work twice. My latest project: Filmed as always on a HDD camcorder 1920x1080, ingested and edited without a problem. Project looks great within Final Cut. (Duration about 4 minutes...There are a few clips filmed with a 640x480 underwater camera.)
    When exporting using Export > QuickTime Movie... I get a 2GB file, but it contains bad side-to-side ghosting (double and triple images) during rapid motion. (NOT the small horizontal lines that I see on Google images of non-interlaced video.) I tried exporting it several different ways (using Export > Using QuickTime Conversion), all of which show this ghosting with rapid motion.
    I finally took the first file into MPEG Streamclip. The same thing happened until I tried it is a .mp4 file. Now the resolution is slightly less, but the ghosting artifact is gone.
    WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? Nearly every project I complete has some sort of artifact that I eventually get rid of after trying ten or eleven exports. The slight drop in resolution isn't nearly as appalling as the motion artifact. But I'd really like to know how I can export a project without motion artifact.

    There are no changes in the motion tab.
    This clip is probably the best example because my family is bouncing in a tube while being pulled by a boat.
    Viewing in FCE4.0.1:
    http://gallery.me.com/brutewolf#100011/3%20in%20a%20tube%20FCE&bgcolor=black
    After exporting:
    http://gallery.me.com/brutewolf#100011/3%20in%20a%20tub%20after%20export&bgcolor =black
    The clip project properties include vid rate 29.97, frame size 1440 x 1080, upper field dominance, and ignore alpha.
    It's difficult for me to tell if this is precisely the same frame (because of rapid motion, a transition, and no frame indicator in QuickTime) but it appears that the converted file is zoomed in with a slightly different aspect ratio. Is that a separate issue? The aspect ratio isn't terribly noticeable, but I think the shake artifact is.
    This converted file was the one that was then converted in MPEG streamclip to a mp4 file (which eliminated the shake) and posted to YouTube here:

  • What is the best format for HDV video for a computer playback

    Hello guys,
    I have made a very nice HDV video and after the frustration and awful results with compression for
    SD DVD, I have decided just to export that video as a file, put that file on DVD, so people can just pop that DVD into their computers, copy that file on their HD and play it. (so there is no compression needed for over internet data transfer, Bit Rates for space, etc). The video is
    HDV 1080i 60. If I export it from FCP as a QT Movie the quality is beautiful. But when being watched on the computer screen, there are those interlace lines visible, when any faster motion in the video occurs. So I am wondering, what would be the best export option in order to provide best qualities for computer playback. Would it be some of those QT progressive modes, like 1080 p24? Or any other?
    Thank you for your help.
    Cheers,
    K.

    Why are you using FCP 6.02? Why didn't you do the update to 6.04?? I did, and I am having tons of issues
    That is pretty much the reason. It is fresh out the gate and so far untested. I am not an early adopter of any new technology (soft or hardware wise). I like to wait it out and see what other peoples' experience is. A bit of a prickish way to put it is: "In Chess, the pawns go first." (I'm a big Chess nerd -- I have Chess analogies for just about everything).
    But even if the latest FCP, OS X and QT versions were humming along without any reported issues by the "power users" (by that I mean people who are editing on their systems 40+ hours a week in a professional capacity) I still wouldn't have upgraded because I am in the middle of three projects.
    Well, that isn't entirely the truth. I started all three projects on a PowerMac G4 running OS X 10.4.11 and FCP 5.1.4. In the midst of this I started an across-the-board upgrade -- new computer, monitor, OS and FCS. But what I did (am still doing) is migrating from one to another and testing the performance on the new one before committing. In doing my research before hand, I see that the magic cocktail for stability appears to be OS X 10.5.2, FCP 6.0.2 and QT 7.4.5 so I built my new MacPro to that and stayed there. I have migrated all my current projects to the new system and have been putting the new setup to the test and is passing at every turn, so I feel confident I can work on this new system and will be retiring the PowerMac soon, but throughout this process I always had my stable G4 setup available so I wouldn't risk losing any work.
    Might the reason the video you compressed "looked great" be because you didn't do the update?
    Maybe, but I can't say with any certainty.
    In the old compressor, I had no problems (in earlier versions of my project) compressing the video. It always looked GREAT! In 3.03, I get weird issues that don't make sense to me at all.
    In the older version of compressor, this never happened. Even on this project.
    Then I would think the update is the likely culprit.
    Here is what I would like to try as my final attempt. I just bought yet ANOTHER computer. A Mac Pro/Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeo. I'd like to try to load Final Cut Studio on this machine, but where should I stop my upgrading? What is good stable working system for everyone??
    OS X 10.5.2, FCP 6.0.2 and QT 7.4.5 is working great for me, and it appears for others here as well. I am running a new octo-2.8GHz Mac Pro.

  • Managing hdv video

    I'm pretty new to video editing and I just got my hands on a Sony HDR-HC1 HDV cam. I'm using FCE for my editing. I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions/tips for capturing the HDV clips. When I've done this with standard DV, I use the capture window in FCE and log all of my clips that way (which then allows me to delete the cache when I'm done editing and recover the clips with "capture project" if I need to). When I go to capture with my HDV cam, FCE only lets me essentially do a "capture now". It won't even open the capture window. I don't mind FCE capturing the whole tape with "capture now" and seperating it into clips for me (which is what I'm currently doing with my HDV tapes) but there doesn't seem to be any way to recover these clips if I remove the cached files. Is there any way to recover these clips if I clear my cache? Is the timecode for the clips even stored in the project? If I do need to keep the clips, does anyone have any suggestions to dealing with this obviously huge amount of storage needed for the clips short of buying a new external hard drive deticated for each project? And finally, is this just a short coming of FCE and does FCP allow me to use the capture window for HDV? Any advice on the HDV capture process with FCE would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
    Oh, I should mention I'm using the most recent version of Final Cut Express HD in case anyone wants to know what version.

    Sorry, by "cached files" I refer to those in the "Capture Scratch" directory.
    When you say FCP5 works with HDV material differently, does it support logging and recapturing (with "capture project") for HDV in the same way that FCEHD does with DV?
    Also, does anyone have any tips to share with how they manage to keep all the captured clips? I wasn't keeping copies on my hard drive with regular DV because I could recapture, but now it looks like I will burn through drive space very fast. Is just buying more external hard drives the best option? Thanks for the advice!

  • IDVD behaving strangely with HDV video from FCP X and FCP 7?

    AVCHD exported from FCP X as ProRes 422 works perfectly in iDVD producing a 16:9 DVD.
    HDV doesn't, even though QT Player plays it perfectly.
    The odd thing is that 4 years ago, using legacy FCP my exported HDV videos had no problems being recognised as 16:9 by iDVD.
    So why are FCP X produced HDV videos not recognised as 16:9?
    P.S.  I know that iDVD never recognised DV in the 16:9 format but it always worked with HDV.
    Incidentally, the old trick of opening it in QT Pro and changing the frame size to 1024 x 576 does not work!
    Even stranger, I have just opened the HDV clips in FCP 7 and exported them as a QuickTime Movie.
    iDVD plays them back in the correct aspect ratio but look at the effect  .  .  .  .  muted colours and green patterns all over.
    This never happened in the past!

    I mentioned several problems so I don't know which one you are referring to. 
    After experimenting I found some workarounds.
    To cure the squashed image I created a ProRes 422 preset in Compressor 4 with a frame size of 1920 x 1080 and exported from FCP X using Compressor Presets.
    Everything now works perfectly except the encoding seems to take  longer.
    I got rid of the moire pattern when using FCP 7 by exporting as ProRes 422 1920 x 1080.

  • Capturing HDV Video from GY-HD110

    I have captured some HDV video to the Apple Intermediate Codec. The capture went fine, but when I put the video onto the timeline, it's only showing green screen. I tried it on a couple of different settings but still no luck. Has anyone else had this problem, or am I just missing a step? Thanks.

    what iMac & what version of FCE? how much RAM? did you have cam set for 24p? if you can provide this info & anything else you can think of, maybe someone here can be of help.

  • Audio-Video alignment issues when exporting

    Hi everyone, I'm a first-time user of this message board and I would appreciate your help.
    I use iMovie HD 6.0.3 (267.2), and recently when I have exported my movie projects to iDVD (or quicktime, for that matter), I notice that the sound plays back at a slower pace than the visual part. Eventually you can see a huge gap between when the sound plays and the accompanying visual part appears. I have used iMovie for awhile and I hope it is not simply being overused, but are there any ideas on how to fix it? I'd GREATLY appreciate help.
    Thanks so much.

    Hi
    Can it be so that Your Camera records in 12-bit audio
    iMovie must have 16-bit audio (set Camera to this so further recordings will work)
    Try select all clips in TimeLine (audio track view) - go up to Advance menu and
    then down to "Extract Audio"
    This helps in some cases.
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    iMovie updated ?
    QuickTime updated ?
    Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK

    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

  • Conforming HDV Video

    Hi All,
    I have composed around 3 dvds from Final Cut pro over the last couple of months. I am having problem with rendering. Before it was not taking long, I must have changed something in the settings as now when rendering it is coming up with conforming hdv video... can anyone help how I can get back to rendering quicker?? thanks

    What you changed is the following:
    Sequence>Render All> Full. Uncheck it and when you render, you'll no longer get that Conforming HDV Video message.
    While DUCKY64 might have turned that setting on accidently, you do understand that this kind of guidance is of limited value for those who output to DVD, right?
    As mentioned in the Final Cut Pro 6: Working With High Definition and Broadcast Formats manual, an HDV timeline must be conformed prior to output. That includes export to QT Movie, the most common way folks get HDV media to Compressor (or any other encoder) in order to create .m2v files.
    Beside that, for all types of codecs, not just HDV, the (Dark Green) Full RT media must be rendered in order to be exported via the QT movie route. If you don't render it prior to export, of course, FCP performs the render during export. So, not a whole lot to be gained for folks making DVDs.
    It wasn't fair to say that Andy was 100% wrong. And resurrecting what is, considering the traffic on this forum, essentially a dead thread to make that statement wasn't cool.
