exporting AVI out of FCP
Hello!
I have to deliver an AVI file and I was wondering the best way to do so. The File that is coming to me is coming from comp, they will be getting exr image seq. I usually have them deliver movs with a NONE codec. Should I have them deliver AVI to me?I guess this was a 2 part question…
If they do deliver MOV to me what is the best way to convert them to AVI?
Thank you in advance! -

AVI is simply a wrapper that can be used to wrap any codec, just like QT. You need to find out exactly what it is that they need.
No, don’t have anyone deliver you an AVI if you need to do further editing in FCP.

Hey Jeremy!
All that they said was just Avi format. 30fps…I noticed when I was testing a few exports out of FC that I had the option of Cinepak,BMP,NONE and a few others… I know Cinepak has lower video quality but what about the others? Any recommendations ? I would like to keep Best quality possible -
None will probably be best (and biggest).

But using none will also limit you to the 2 gig file size limitation of AVI. So clips longer than about 4 minutes will only be a partial clip.
MPEG Streamclip can create AVIs using many more compressors including QT compressors and embed them in the wrapper. But whoever opens them must have QT loaded on the machine.

Hey Rich,
If I know that the clip will not be that long would you suggest using None? Or still Stream clip? -
Compressor can create AVIs as well, in dv, dv50, BMP, None or Cinepak.

Compressor has better processing. I’d use Compressor.

Can you tell me how export from an FCP timeline using compressor to create an AVI?
