720P 23.98 not RT on Kona 3
-
To shorten a clip, open in QT Player, select all but 2-3 seconds. Do a Save as.
Sometimes we forget about the simple programs. 🙂

Walter,
You are the man!
FCP does indeed change the F’ing frame size even when you use the Kona Preset. We even tried using QT conversion and manually setting the frame size to 960 x 720 and the movie it created was 1248 x 702!!
So, apparently there is no way to export a QT of 720P 23.98 that will be able to play back in FCP in RT with the Kona card.
Puts a real wrinkle in our client’s workflow.

I was afraid QT player would convert it when it saved it out.

Yes there is. Do a bit of client service here. Go into compressor and create a template to export this format using compressor. Save the template as a droplet, after you have tested it in a few short clps.
E-mail the droplet to your client and tell them to export via FCP with the setting file.
Let’s get creative people. There is always a way!

Peace and Love 🙂

Okay, tried Compressor, I get the same funky frame size of 1248.

You can’t set a custom frame size/pixel dimension in compressor?
Not near my machine. I’ll try tomorrow.
Keep us posted.

I did set the custom parameters. I chose DVCPRO HD codec, then set the frame rate for 23.98. then set the custom size to the 960 format and the end result is 1248. Same thing that happened doing it through Quicktime conversion.
Wacky stuff this is. I hope someone else can get a different result somehow.

This is also happening on my dual G5 using the Kona LH card. If you export your 720P 23.98 timeline/sequence to a single Quicktime movie, it changes the aspect from 960 to 1200 as well. I used to be able to render clips out of FCP and export them back into my current project fine. Now you have to re-render the clip again in the timeline to get your realtime playback back again. It sounds like a FCP 6 bug.

that last post should read “import them back into my FCP project”!! :>)
