    I’ve created a 5 minute video on my Avid Xpress DV.
    I want to export it, and load it into my FCP system, because
    it is the one that has a dvd burner (i want to burn to dvd using DVD Studio Pro).

    What would be the best way to export my Avid timeline?
    as a QT movie? .m2v and aaif?
    Any suggestions to make it a smoothe and painless process
    will be appreciated.

    your just wanting the movie, not the project, right?
    Spitting it out to Dv and recapturing it bia firewire is the quickest and easist, imo.
    A quicktime will work fine too. The animation codec at best settings is generic and will work but it’s not a clone, like dv would be.

    thanks, don’t know why i didn’t think of that,
    that would indeed be a lot simpler.
    thanks again

    when your head is all wrapped up deep in a project, it can be hrd to stap back and see the onvious sometimes. Happens to all of us, man.
    They call it “too close to the project”.
    ahhh, if only doctors and politicians cared that much.
