Final Cut Studio 2 updates out for Leopard

[Jeremy Garchow]

It was Uncompressed HD upconverted to 720p through Compressor. Worked awesomely. I couldn’t believe it actually.

I think that is a 720p thing. Throw your Uncompressed video on a 720p timeline in Final Cut (don’t even use Compressor) and it actually works great.

But try using Compressor’s deinterlace filter to convert ProRes 480i into h264 480p. Disaster.

I’ll give it a whirl. Is it h264 only?

Honestly I do not know. Haven’t had time to test everything.

FYI, I’ve only tested film-based NTSC with v6.0.2. But with the previous version (6.0.1 & QT 7.2)I have tested 30fps based sources and had the same problem.

I’ve got all current updates installed but I’m still on Tiger. So now that the 6.0.2 update is out should I move to the spots or stay with the stripes? (I’m looking forward to using Leopard’s new features but I need a FCP6 that’s stable)

This will be a big deal for me:
Opening a Nested Sequence Displays the Playhead in the Expected Position

Now if they would just PLEASE make nested sequences and subclips retain their handles!!!!!
