Exporting DV QuickTime without Recompression
I have a DV sequence in Final Cut that I need to export for WMV encoding with Cleaner XL on a PC. In the past, I have used Premiere Pro for this workflow, and had the option to export and AVI-DV without recompression. I have found using the DV codec throughout shooting, capture, editing and export yields excellent results. Having rececntly bought FCP, I would prefer to use it instead of Premiere. Is it possible to export a sequence from Final Cut as a QT using the DV/DVDPRO codec without recompressing? I have tried using the “Export using Quicktime Coversion” option, but the results are pretty ugly. If this is not possible, would my best alternative be Animation, MJPEG-A or 10 bit Uncompressed?

Use Export Quicktime movie, not conversion. You can choose a reference file (not selfcontained) if you are using cleaner on the same box.

Hi Joe,
I’ve tried your suggestion, but the resulting QT looks horrible: soft and very compressed. Also, the Mac shows the file type as a “Final Cut Pro Movie File” rather than a QuickTime movie. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

You can add .mov because it is a quicktime file. Check you QT general preferences to see if high-quality playback is turned on.
