Two different clip settings on one timeline

Hello All,
I am combining clips shot with two different cameras on one timeline.
For best quality results of the image, what sequence settings and then export choice should I use? It is a 4 min film that I would like to export as QT or MPEG-4 movie file.
In FCP, both clips look crisp and sharp. I tried various export formats in compressor, but the output always returns the clips from camera 2 de-interlaced (the edges of objects are not smooth but zygzagy).
Clip settings from camera 1:
frame size: 1920 x 1080
video rate: 23.98 and some in 29.97
compressor: Apple ProRes 422
Pixel Aspect ratio: square
Field dominance: None and some have Upper (Odd)
Clip settings from camera 2:
Frame size: 720 X 480
Video Rate: 29.97
Compressor: DV/DVC PRO- NTSC
Pixel Aspect: NTSC- CCIR60
Field dominance: Lower (Even)
Thank you for any suggestions,
Izabela

hazel - if you're making a DVD, then you're going to be using NTSC SD settings - so that's the "send to" compressor - and in compressor you will choose a DVD format, etc.
But if you are creating a digital file to play from a laptop to a projector, I am suggesting you set your frame size to the most common pixel width of most projectors; 1024 x 576 precisely so you do not have to make any adjustments on the projector. You are basically running VGA out (or DVI) into the PC input of the projector and running a quicktime or wmv file and the projector will not have to re-map the image. All of my editing takes place on a mac, and quicktime is my fav but in the corporate world I often have to produce PC friendly files that they take and project with conference type LCD projectors. I do it all the time - this is a good way to go if you are in a similar position.
On larger scale productions, we stay mac based and use high-end projectors and switchers, etc. But when you are handing your edits off to normal corporate meeting attendees they often try to embed them into powerpoint or at least run them in windows media players. If this is the case for you, then I am saying create custom frame of 1024 x 576 if your content is 16:9.

  • Recording two different size windows into one timeline

    Hello, I wonder if anyone can help.
    I'm trying to capture two different size animations, one 900
    x 600 and one much bigger, say 1280 by 700....How can I get them
    into the same timeline? It seems captivate only allows one size
    frame recording per movie.....
    Any hints?
    cheers
    zig

    Hi zig
    The only way I can fathom this happening is to take Captivate
    and record the larger. Then use the Project > Resize option to
    reduce the size of the larger to match the smaller. Then import
    that/those slide(s) into the smaller.
    Or, you could go the other way around. Record at the larger,
    leave it at that size, then import the smaller into the larger via
    File > Import > Slides/Objects.
    Cheers... Rick

    1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.
    2. If you encounter a 90-day waiting period, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll remove it.

  • Hello, I want to perform a simple task. I have two Adobe ID accounts linked to two different email addresses. One account i do not want to use anymore but it is linked to my main email account. the account i do not want anymore is still in its free stage

    Hello, I want to perform a simple task.I have two Adobe ID accounts linked to two different email addresses. One account i do not want to use anymore but it is linked to my main email account. the account i do not want anymore is still in its free stage and i have not purchased anything with it. My other Adobe ID account is linked to an email i rarely use and don't particularly want to use. i have tried changing the linked email account to my regular one i use. But it obviously does not allow me because of it already being linked to my other non used obsolete Adobe ID account. Is there any solution to this?? Please help.

  • I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either.

    I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either. I have an iphone 4 that will not connect to 5ghz.
    thank you!

    Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
    This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
    It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Express
    Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
    Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
    Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
    Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
    Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name.  2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name.

  • Two different condition types in one report

    Hello,
    i have a problem with the conditional display of a report.
    I want to use two different condition types for one report.
    For example I want to show the report only when the page is not in printer friendly mode and when the value of an item is NULL.
    Is that possible?
    Has anyone a solution for this problem?
    Thank you,
    Tim

    Tim,
    you can use
    IF V('PRINTER_FRIENDLY') = 'YES' AND :P1_ITEM IS NOT NULL THEN RETURN FALSE;
    ELSE RETURN TRUE;
    END IF;
    in the Conditional Display picking PL/SQL Function Body returning a Boolean.

  • Two different Dock themes on one Mac?

    I use CandyBar to change my icons but I cannot get OS X to recognise two respective users wishes to have separate Dock styles. With one login I would like one style and another with the other but they all seem to share the same resources in the Dock.app.
    Is it possible to have two different themed Docks on one machine?
    *this also applies to the Finder icon*

    Hi There
    Sorry to say but this is not possible, Candybar works by replacing the image resources in the application bundle. This prevents different users from having their own personal Dock themes and Application icons.

  • Give two different speeds (FPS) in one file

    Hey
    Maybe you can help me on getting this ready: I want to
    animate two different animations in one file, each with different
    speeds. for example a menu loading at 12 fps and a bird suddently
    flying away at 2 fps.
    Thx for helping!
    Jo

    You can make the clip that you want to play at 2 fps seem
    that way by just making it longer. Alternately, you could use a
    timed tween.

  • Placing two different clips in the same frame

    I am wondering if it is possible in FCP to do this...
    Basically I am trying to achieve the split screen effect in some movies during the credits, where outtakes or deleted scenes are still rolling on one half of the screen and the credits continue on the other half with a black background.
    I searched in the forum but couldn't find any relevant topics. Perhaps I am just not thinking of the right words.
    Any ideas, suggestions?
    Thanks!

    The fastest way I can advice is...
    1. edit your credits sequence (the clips you want to keep going as your credits roll)
    2. nest the clips in a new sequence then you have a timeline with a nested sequence in your track 1...
    3. Select your nested sequence in the track 1 and use the motion tab to scale/rotate/crop/move your image wherever you want in the canvas...
    3. create a second track for your rolling credits...
    4. create your rolling credits
    5. if you have different clips for your rolling credits you may want to nest these too...
    6. select your rolling credits and use the motion tab again to scale/crop/rotate/move your credits wherever you want in the canvas
    Hope this help...
