Best possible video quality
I’m rather new to editing in HDV, and I want to know how to export out of FCP 6.0.6 and Motion 3 in order to get the best possible video quality and keying on a green screen. My footage is going to be shot in 1080p/24fps.
Also, I’m used log+transfer off of a camera hard drive to bring the footage into FCP, using the easy setup/HDV setting, is this what I should be using? Does anyone know what the best codec to use during transfer for Green Screen footage? Also, this video is going to primarily be watched online on computer screens if that makes a difference.
If anyone could help that’d be awesome.
Thanks,
BrendanBrendan

Hey Tom thanks for the quick response.
Use pro res 422 for the transfer or the export? or both?

Use ProRes for ingest and editing. How you deliver depends on how it’s going to be seen and what hardware and software is going to deliver that.

I have footage shot on HDR-FX7 (PAL) but I am using HDR HC3 (NTSC). I am aware of the NTSC PAL thing. The footage plays well in HDR HC3 (NTSC) but the FCP 6 does not let me capture saying either the device is not connected or capture presets need to be correct. Please advise. I am wondering because the HDR HC3 (NTSC) plays DV (PAL) footage and FCP captures that too.
Can you tell me where I went wrong? I know I may not be posting this in the right thread but I am new to a forum and did not find a way to link my problem to the posts. Sorry my posts may seem irrelevant to this thread. I am seeking your help.
