DVCPRO HD+Canon7D for Bluray
hi
i’ve edited, in final cut pro 6.0.6, a PAL sequence with frame size HD 1440×1080 16/9, Field dominance Upper, Quicktime Video Settings Compressor DVCPRO HD 1080i50my material is : some clips from Panasonic 201 (DVCPRO 1080i50) and some clips from Canon 7D (converted in AppleProRes 422 HQ 1920×1080 with MPEG Streamclip)
since i’m going to create a Bluray disc with Encore CS4
1 – are my sequence settings in FinalCut correct?
2 – which is the right/best workflow to reach a fine bluray folder that i will burn with toast…. is CBR 32kbs a good transcoding setting for my case in Encore?thanks a lot!

First, neither of your footage is 1440×1080, that is not a DVCProHD resolution and you should not be using it. DVCProHD is 1280×1080. So your FCP setting is wrong.
You should not be using ProRes (HQ), for video footage standard ProRes is much better (not so much quality but less issues and HQ will not give you any noticeable quality gains)

hi Michael,
ok i’ll set my FCP Sequence frame size to HD 1280×1080 16/9 and pixel aspect HD 1280×1080 and… Quicktime Video Setting ??ok for ProRes not HQ.. understood
then, after rendered the mov with FCP, i’ll import it into Encore and… how do i have to set the transcoding for bluray to get a good quality output?
thanks again
Andrea

That is an encore question.

anyway… it sounds strange that 1280×1080 you say… i’ve recorded in PAL HD 1080i50 and normally, when i edit that material in FCP it appears to be 1440×1080 anamorphic upper field, so my sequence should be right for pana201 material but, since i’ve included some canon 7D clips (prores and progressive) i’m afraid it’s not a right output setting for the final destination (encore project where i want to use 1440×1080 25fps CBR32)

Hi Andrea,
1440 x 1080 is correct for DCVProHD 1080i
