    Hi, any help would be appreciated.

    I’m working in a HD 960×720 – DVCPRO HD 720p60 sequence.

    Footage format is DVCPRO HD 1080p30

    Now the rendered stuff in the timeline looks great. But when I Export via Quicktime, the output is bright and horrible. What settings can I use to get the best output?

    Thanks

    Well, your footage doesn’t match the sequence settings at all. Footage is 1080p30 running at 29.97fps and you have a 720p 59.94 sequence. DOn’t do that. Your sequence and footage setting must match exactly. Simple way is to choose the EASY SETUP that matches your footage, then make a new sequence. Or if you have FCP 6 then when you cut in the first clip to the sequence, FCP will prompt you if you want the sequence settings to match the footage…click yes.
