export to motion jpeg A
Hello,
Can anyone help me figure out how to export a Motion jpeg A or cinepak compression off my FCP 6? My audio guy says he needs either one of these two codecs to import into his pro tools session.
I tried going to the export tab, then hitting quicktime conversion, hitting option to change the compression type, but there is no file for cinepak or Motion jpeg A on the list to do an export.
Although when I go to the sequence settings there is a menu to set the video settings tto motion jpeg, but only on the timeline.
Any suggestions.
appreciate the help.

Ace,
I went and checked the settings I used to do for Motion JPEG-A for my sound guy in QT Conversion and found that apparently Apple has dropped support for it. I did try to do the same thing using MPEG Streamclip (freeware) and it is supported in that app. So, export a reference clip from FCP and drop it into Streamnclip and choose “export QT” and pick Apple Motion JPEG A.

Oddly enough, I can find the Cinepak codec in media manager’s re-compression option… you’d need to export the finished movie as a reference movie, then open that in media manager (after reimporting the ref movie into FCP) and select recompress.. the Cinepak codec is availalbe there. That should give him a single video/audio file that is compressed using the Cinepak codec.

Its just so odd that the Apple engineers would bother to make changes that seem to have no reason for being, such as removing Motion JPEG-A from QT Conversion, meanwhile never touching things for years that everyone knows need tweaking. Its as if they need a TO DO LIST…
A TO DO LIST is by the way apparently one of the biggest things missing from the iPhone according to many user polls, so apparently this may be a company-wide problem.

Quicktime 7.3.1 or higher?
Open the Quicktime System Preferences:
Apple menu > System Preferences > Quicktime. Click on the advanced tab and choose “Show Legacy Encoders”.

Yeah, I know. Sad ain’t it? It’s 20 degrees and snowing here. What else do you want me to do?

I’d be skiing in that snow…

🙂 In Chicago? Perhaps if my neighbors and I push enough of it together from all across the city, we might be able to make a mountain.

There is such a thing as “cross country” skiing… OR you could pile it up against one of the buildings then take elevators up to the roof and ski down!

Ace you might consider a DV quicktime, it will
export faster (much faster) not only that, but
protools has the ability to output a dv signal
via firewire to an analog converter and sweeten
from a tv or monitor.This is perfect for studios that used Doremi V1
disk recorders for sweetening.
