Final Cut – exporting sequence issue

[Cláudio Ferraz]

Hy,,once again…thanks for all suport.

Starting from beggining…i´m new on this..as i said…and i was using windows moviemaker to capture my videos of my minidv cam to PC…and i saw that if i export it on .avi the quality was better then the other format available(mpeg2.mov,wmv,etc etc etc),dont know if allways happens that but it what I got, so ..because that i´m using .avi since then.

Now i just capture my footages to finalcut using .avi too…and now what i´m trying to do its to create some montage, transactions,efects,etc etc etc, on FCP, and export it in the end to an .avi format , because what i said before, but just to watch wiht the better quality possible…to use the best quality of my camera transfering to FCP.

I hope you understand me.

If uou can help me about that format thing..i´ll thank you.

To export my footages to FCT with the better quality possible of the cam, what format i should use? And what format i should use to export my final sequence? not to website and stuff like that…just to watch and maybe later transfer to DVD.

Thanks for your support.

Best regards

Hy,

I think I got sucesse in here. I tried to do the same thing that I have done to export my project to .avi, but now i tried to export to quicktime movie, using the compreessor too…and the final result was the all project exported…with the same quality that ,avi had.

So… I guess that avi, mov, mpg and all that stuff are just “packages” right? The important its the “interior” of the file, the dv-pal, hd, and the other options that we can choose.

Am I wrong?

Someone can help me on thins?
