Exporting Quicktime Movie Or Conversion
I posted on here a while ago asking the difference. Basically there really is no difference, as I see it regular quicktime is good for fcp to fcp because when its done rendering the export it has a fcp icon. Someone told me about photo-jpeg for a quick render and low compression size and I just want to say thank you because its amazing. I mean there are so many nonsense codecs that dont look near as good and take double the space and run poorly. Basically I dont get the video and none codec. I would think None meant no compression but people say animation codec is for the lossless output. Can anyone clear this up for me. Thanks all

Haven’t noticed any differcen between the 2. only problems i have had with animation is exporting animation from Avid and bringing it into FCP, FCP doesn’t like it at all. I usually go None from Avid.

Yeah Photo-Jpeg is a great codec! It is 2 to 1 which give you great storage space and a high quality look. You will hear a lot of people rave about how Digital video is better than analog beta which is technically true. However for the eye, Photo-Jpeg captured in from analog beta has much less artifacting and compression than Digital DV video captured in the DV/DVCPro NTSC codec.
I wonder is it possible to capture DV video via firewire and in the capture settings have the quicktime compression setting be photo-jpeg instead of DV/DVCPro NTSC? Then DV might surpass analog beta.

I must say the dv/dvcpro ntsc codec looks very soft. Its not crisp at all and just looks slightly washed out and not sharp. It also takes up more space than the photo-jpeg which is kind of funny.
