Best exporting settings for widescreen video
So I have a project that needs to be displayed on a Sony Bravia, widescreen TV.
The client is running a Mac Mini to the tv:
OS X 10.5.7
2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3The file is about 3 minutes long. Includes mostly stills and text, with effects and basic motion and a couple tracks of audio. I’m editing in FCP with a widescreen sequence which I believe I set up correctly…I’ve never done anything in ws until this
When I’ve rendered out a few tests on that same system it seems to
a) lag in either Finder’s preview or Quicktime
b) it doesn’t fill the screen
c) some of the text and photos (PNGs) have jaggieshelp??

Nicholas,
QT player is designed to playback to non-interlaced computer monitors, it’s not meant for high resolution interlaced playback to TVs. Your bets bet is to make your client a 16×9 SD DVD and have them play it out through a DVD player to the TV via component cables.
Hope this helps…

Thanks David,
yes that makes sense. Can I still export “as a qt movie” for iDvd or DVDSP?
