  • Please help – mpeg streamclip files appear unrendred in FCP

    Posted by Andy Levine on March 2, 2006 at 3:25 pm

    when I open a file in FCP that was conveterd from DVD through MPEG streamclip It appears unrendered… I am I messing up the file settings? What is standard FCP quicktime file format? What about sound settings?

    Your project settings don’t match your clip settings.

    walter, thanks.

    my fcp system is set to DVNTSC 48KHz (standard/easy setup) mpeg streamclip doesn’t offer that exactly… they offer APPLEDVPRO-NTSC. Is there another setting on MPEG streamclp I should be using?

    You have to make sure that your frame size is also correct (720×480) and that you have the correct field order/frame rate selected.

    I’ll check frame size but what is the correct standard setting?

    my fcp system is set to

    DVNTSC 48KHz (standard/easy setup)

    mpeg streamclip doesn’t offer that exactly… they offer

    APPLEDVPRO50-NTSC. Are those two equavalent?

    thanks

    DV is approx 5 minutes per gig. You can do the math.
