  Mixed res in timeline

  Posted by Videobiker on July 26, 2005 at 1:11 pm

  When mixing resolutions in the timeline(Betacam, DV, VHS Composite)must you always render the video that does not match your timeline settings? Am I doing something wrong?

  Yes.
  Clearly explained in the manuals.

  This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

  I looked under the index for “mixed resolutions” and under the timeline options but have not been able to find the info. Can you guide me to which book (1-4) and chapter? Would greatly appreciate it.

  Hi Videobiker.

  Unless there is something new in FCP I don’t know about, you have NEVER been able to mix resolutions in a FCP timeline. If you do, yes, it has to be rendered.

  If all of your clips are alreadsy captured, the only way around this is to export all your clips to a common format and use that setting as your sequence setting. Of course, ideally, you would have captured each clip through you Kona card to a common compression format.

  Hope this helps.

  Thanks Bobo,

  I got that info earlier. I guess I have to do all my rough in DV and then res up the final show and render out the video bedore going to tape.

  Thanks for the help.
