final cut exporting as icod rather than hdv2
Up until two weeks ago, whenever I went to file > export > quicktime video, I’d get an uncompressed MOV file I could work with on a PC for compression and whatnot.
according to gspot.exe, it was an hdv2 file.
Now, final cut spits out an icod file, which can’t be read by anything other than the mac that exported it. If I move the file to another mac, the audio will play, but the video won’t. same with a PC.
Any ideas on how to export it as a hdv2 MOV again? This has happened suddenly on two macs with final cut.
Very strange….

Click on the Help button in FCP, open the FCP manual, navigate to page 238 and read about self contained movies vs. reference movies.

Nope. That was the first thing I checked. These are being exported as self-containted.
One thing I did notice was that the sequence presents only displayed 3 HDV options, all of which had “apple intermediate codec” in the label.
On the other mac, presets for plain ol’ HDV 1080i were present.
Did these presets somehow get deleted? If so, where could I get them from? I’ve already tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Final Cut Express HD 3 on one, and Final Cut Pro (not sure of the version…5, maybe 4) on the other. No extras or add-on software.

A FCP vs. FCE issue perhaps?

Nope. Video editing is done independently on these two machines. They don’t share anything other than a common network.
