FCP ProRes Easy Setup

[David Roth weiss]

Does not compute…

First, transcoded to what?

Second, FCP does not ask if you want to conform the footage, it should ask if you want FCP to change the seq. settings to match the media. Is your FCP different from all others?

The answer to number two above is most likely yes, if you want to edit without rendering every step of the way then idealy FCP should change the seq, settings so they match the media you’re working with.

Hi David…

No, same Final Cut 🙂 … just didn’t get much sleep last night.

The footage was transcoded to ProRes 422 and I did have FC change the seq. settings to match the media. Just second guessing and thinking about it while I’m at the other job.

Thankfully, I’m finally in a situation where I didn’t have HDV in the mix.

Thanks Again David!

Glad you’re running smoothly Frank. Now that you’ve got this all down, you can look forward to learning it all over again in the new FCX this June.
