FCP 7 captures HDV without .mov extension

[Shane Ross]

Capture HDV as HDV. Apple intermediate is a lossy and BLOATED codec rife with issues. For one, it doesn’t capture TIMECODE…something that is rather important. And the file sizes are nearly double that of native HDV.

If you don’t want to capture native HDV, but as another format, then use ProRes. Larger files, but MUCH BETTER than AIC.

Shane, thanks for your comment…

I just thought AIC was better than native HDV…

I love Proress (is just the amount of space).

Next time I will use proress.

appreciated

Oh no…Apple Intermediate was the patch that people used to capture HDV as before FCP had native HDV support. You had to use Lumiere HD or HDVxDV to import, and had to do so as AIC.

Yes, I’m seeing the same problem on my system with newly captured ProRes Files. However, looking back at my older ProRes files captured in FCP 6 before Snow Leopard, I notice those files didn’t have any file extension either. However, they did contain the file type description as “QuickTime movie” as the new ProRes files captured via fire wire (note I said captured not converted) contain the file type decryption of “document” and control clicking (right clicking) on the file and clicking on info shows the file has no extension and the “hide extension” is NOT selected. Further it shows the file being created by TextEdit (which I suppose is the default for document files).

dear friends,

when I capture with snow leopard in apple prores the finder doesn’t recognize te clips as video clips and I cannot change the default application in the file info….also the preview in the finder doesn’t appear and i see all te clip as text files…..

since quicktime has radically changed, i reinstall the old one at:

and yesterday I uploaded the player for snow leopard here:

but nothing has changed…any ideas…? Suggestions?

Hi Alvaro,
In the lower left corner of the FC export window, there is a button “Hide extension”. You may have it checked in.
