final cut pro export
hey,
so i need to edit some clips together that were shot in different formats. im editing prores 422 lt footage that was shot at 108024p with a canon t2i with some ripped dvd clips. im using mpeg streamclip and ripping them as proress 422 lt. (the ripped dvds were originally shot on hdv cameras if that makes a difference) the timeline setting is the one fcp recommends when you import into the timeline, apple prores 422 (lt)1920×1080 24p 48kHz. they seem to play fine in fcp, but when exported it is as if the different formatted files have difficulty transitioning from one clip to the next. the screen goes green or the image completely breaks for a moment or two before rendering back to its normal quality. i searched all over for this and couldn’t find a thing so i apologize if there is a thread that covers this already. any help is much appreciated.

Where these DVD’s you ripped SD DVD’s? If so, you can only rip a SD file from them. SO, you have HD and SD clips going on.
Stick with the format, size files you have the most of and edit in that. Transcode the others w/compressor to match. Then import.
Rezing up ur SD clips from a ripped DVD will not be pretty.Chris Tompkins

hey chris,
im thinking of just grabbing the source files instead from those who have them. im assuming that’d work and am positive it would be better quality, right? in the meantime ill try compressor and see what it looks like. thanks for your help.

Definitely always better to get the original then ripping a compressed DVD file. Good Luck!
