  • FCP to Digibeta for theatrical projection

    Posted by Heinrich Dahms on September 7, 2009 at 7:08 pm

    Hi All,
    I’d appreciate advice on the following:

    I edited a film in FCP (shot on Sony EX1 at 1920×1080 25p ) and output to ProRes 422 HQ.
    We now need to record it to Digibeta PAL for theatrical screening in Holland. We have to do it via Avid because that’s what the deck is connected to. We’ve done one tape, but it’s a mess – interlaced type scan lines, jitter, etc.

    What’s the best ‘recipe’ (if anything) for getting the highest quality image out of this combo?

    Thanks in advance!

    I would export it with CURRENT SETTINGS and then let the video card in the AVID do the downconvert.

    Hey Michael, thx for that.
    Which format should go into Avid? I have Prores 422 HQ and I could also export from FCP in Avid codecs; but which is the best to start out with in Avid to avoid jitter and dominance issues?
    Thx
