    Codec for Sound Mixer: Motion JPEG A

    Posted by Samah Bennett on May 11, 2008 at 9:19 pm

    Hi,

    I’m prepping my film for sound mix, and the sound mixer has asked me to make QT Motion JPEG A version of the film, along with the OMF’s I’ll export for him. I have seen this codec in passing before, but not as an choice through any of the Export options in FCP.

    Is it possible to export a sequence as a Motion JPEG A file in FCP 6? Can anyone tell me how?

    And if not, what can I do to give him what he wants? I also need to make sure that I maintain the same frame rate in whatever I export.

    Thanks,
    Samah

    Any of the “Off-line RT” Sequence presets.
    They are based in the Photo-JPGE codec.
    Duplicate the Sequence preset that fits you. Then change the encoder to Motion JPEG if you want. But I would recommend you to keep the Photo-JPGE codec instead of the Motion JPGE A.

    ..and always a big mess on top of the table.
