    Hello All,

    I just read this great post:
    Re: Outputting short film for DVD
    by Don Greening on Jul 12, 2008 at 10:39:43 am

    This post answers most of my questions. But…
    One case I have is how to deal with an FCP sequence that is
    composed of STILL images. This sequence has no video, but I would like it to be of the best quality possible. I have chosen the 4:3 NTSC
    DV setting for this timelime/sequence. I have zooms, pans, etc.

    Any ideas or workflows on this type of work?

    Thanks again,

    Eric

    DV is not going to give you the best quality. I’d suggest 8-bit uncompressed or ProRes. If your computer can’t handle those try DVCPro 50.
