    Hi Creative Cow FCP Team,

    SUBJECT: EXPORTING 16:9 MOVIES FOR VIEWING ON COMPUTERS AND INTERNET

    I’ve been hunt-n-pecking through the export process…a very timely venture. I only have today to pull my video homework off to keep for a portfolio, so I need to work quickly.

    A FEW DETAILS:
    I have multiple projects saved on FCP timelines. I’m working on a Mac in the university’s lab. My audiences will be mostly PC users. I really don’t like the “interlaced?” lined look when the movies I’ve made play on the computer.

    1 I need to make movies available to play on primarily PC/Windows computers via

    • JUMP DRIVE – [my problem: Windows Media player either doesn’t read .mov or has no sound]
    • DVD – [my problem: after exporting via “make QuickTime movie” and burning using iDVD – movies are pixelated, transitions choppy]

    2 I need to make movies available to play on primarily Internet Explorer via

    • WEBSITE – embedded video on a web page [I plan to build a website using a content source management system [CMS] template]
    • YOUTUBE [want the best format for a movie that will upload with quick start, is as clear as possible, has smoother transitions]

    3 When I’m not in such a rush I want to study up on this, please recommend some tutorials etc.

    Moo team, thanks!

    Hi Kim. Some advice for the long run [maybe not so helpful today tho] if you’re using a Mac. Here’s a quick list of software and plug-ins to find and grab for your Mac to help your video talk with PCs…just search for these:

    mpeg streamclip [available for pc as well]
    perian
    tubetv
    flip4mac
    mactheripper

    Again, these are for the Mac, helping you talk with a PC, and not the other way around. Hope I understood your workflow and these will help.

    –dave.
