Exporting 100 min FCP Timeline 720p footage shot with HVX200: What is my best option?
I am holding a screening at a big screen theatre. The first time I’ve had my footage blown up on a big screen.
I have a sequence of about 100 mins. The footage was shot with an HVX-200 at 720pN.
I have access to an external Blu-Ray burner, but that option seems to be out as DVDSP has no blu-ray support, and I would prefer not to buy Premiere Pro for the sole purpose of using Encore,
Are there any other reasonable, affordable options to deliver HD content from FCP?
I’d prefer not to squeeze the whole thing on a SD DVD.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Yes. It uses a chrsitie ds60. It plays dvd’s, hd content. basically anything with a dvi input. So you can plug a Blu-ray player into it.

Play it back thru the computer. Export a self contained QT file, put that on a fast enough drive (FW800 or eSATA…G-SATA are good) and then play it on FCP in Digital Cinema Preview mode…DVI out from the computer into the projector.
Otherwise you are looking at authoring a BluRay disk, or renting an AJ-HD1800 large format DVCPRO HD deck that can record that much time onto a large DVCPRO HD tape.
Computer is cheaper..since you already have it.

Thanks for the advice.
Sounds like the best idea by far.
Another newbie question:would this possibly over exert the graphics card?
I have a mac pro with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT

No, this won’t over exert. This is a normal signal output.

What are you going to do about audio?
Know anyone with an ioHD?

when I go to View/Video Playback/Digital Cinema Desktop Preview – Main is already selected…and the video is the same size. Is there a “mode” to switch into using a different command?
And as for the audio, I’m hoping that playing it through the same format I play the video (ie computer/dvd/blu-ray etc) by using standard audio outputs

Are you hooked to the projector now?
-
Nope. I don’t have it with me. It’s the facilities projector.

this is the exact model of projector they have…although I wouldn’t be plugging the audio through there. I can’t give a brand or model number, but they had what looked like conventional audio receiver with the option for red and white audio inputs, or optical audio.

Well, you need to test this to make sure you are going to maintain sync for 100 minutes.
You have to have another monitor (or projector) hooked up to run Digital Cinema desktop on another monitor.
An ioHD would be my recommend in this situation.

The guy will let me test it for sure ahead of time.
If it audio and video are exported together as a self-contained movie file, shouldn’t they maintain sync?
