    We just ordered a v4hd for my schools tv studio and on the list of features a lot of them mentioned pro res 442. What is it and do we need to use it for FCP. If we do need to use it how do we use it. Right now i think the main person is editing in .mov is that bad?

    Pro Res is a compression format made by Apple, specifically with editors in mind. It is a great format to edit in, just do a forum search and you will find a lot of great information about it. Setup your v4hd and FCP settings to capture the footage to Pro Res and drag the footage into a new timeline and it will automatically set up the timeline parameters.

    Sam,

    Are you a student or a teacher?

    I hope not a teacher. Not to be disrespectful, but that old saying “those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach” comes to mind. I’d hate to be the student.
