    I have some clips that are 1080i60 from my HVR-z7u and if I add color correction to the clips on the timeline I notice that later on my Blu-Ray DVD after exporting it from FCP to Mpeg2 streaming in compressor most of my clips look great but some of them are pixelated. Looks great in FCP.

    Im wondering if I need to render my clip before exporting to compressor to fix this?

    I did> FCP 1080i60 using apple prores422 >Compressor Mpeg2 streaming codec for blu-ray>Encore build.

    [David Ethridge] “Im wondering if I need to render my clip before exporting to compressor to fix this? “
    No necessary. Compressor renders everything, even if have been prevoiously rendered.

    I suggest you something: In your Sequence Setting, set “Render all YUV material in High Precission”.
    This will make that your 8b HDV footage will be rendered as 10b footage.
    Rendering will take longer.
    You can try to export a Self-Contained movie and import that to Compresssor.
    The problem of sending from FC to Compressor is that, as we say before, it renders everything again.
    If yu are doing a Double-pass compression render everything twice.

    You probably need to turn up the bit rate in Compressor.
