  • Cheap way to preview FCP on Tv Monitor?

    Posted by Milton Hockman on May 19, 2008 at 1:38 am

    I read pyro ads av link will allow me to watch my FCP on an external tv monitor through S Vhs..

    Is this the cheapest option to do this? I don’t want to capture. just preview on tv monitor.

    If i tried a composite solution wont the image not look as good as s-vhs?

    Also, can i use the pyro to preview After Effects on tv monitor?

    Hi Milton,
    Sorry the delay. S-VHS will look better than Composite. I’ve just suggested you the camera, so you don’t need to spend no money.
