  Re: Compression issues

  Hi guys,
  I have a few questions to go over. Right now I have been requested to send over a “Apple Pro Res HQ” file of my video to iTunes. However, the film was shot and edited in a “DVCPRO 720 60” timeline. The major issue I’m having, is that I’m using the oldest version of FCP, that doesn’t let me export in “Apple Pro Res HQ”.

  I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction, AKA steps to get it there. So far, the only idea I had, was to export in a “DVCPRO 720 60” timeline and then import that into a copy of “imovie”, then export the timeline as “Apple Pro Res HQ”. What are the concerns if any, that I should be looking for?

  The other question is,
  What should I use for compression “Quicktime Conversion”? or “compression” when exporting this file?

  Thank you!

  Do you know somebody who has FCP 7 and can take the file and do a simple convert? Should be a snap!

  I do, however, they live 4 hours away. So I just figured I could export in a DVCproHD format and then convert it through iMovie, seeing how it exports as apple pro res HQ?
