    Posted by Paolo Mugnaini on August 20, 2008 at 7:34 pm

    Hi,
    I have finished a feature documentary about 100 mins in the DV codec. Now I need to export it as a sc reference file for a DVD duplicating co, and for festivals entries.
    Can anyone suggest, based on their experience, what would be the best output for titles and images for a project like this?

    Thanks

    Paolo

    Thanks Chris,
    I don’t think FCp 5.1.4 has prores as an available codec.

    oh, in that case 8-bit uncompressed.

    if you don’t have the room, DVCPRO-50 might be an option while maintaining good looking titles.

    Yeah I have the room.
    By that you mean to change the settings on the sequence and re- render to then export with current settings..right?

    thanks

    with 5.1.4 I don’t think you can change the codec but I could be wrong.

    move your renders to another folder or delete them altogether.

    then export it and change the audio video settings to 8-bit uncompressed.

    Do a short test with a section with titles (marked in and out points)
    to confirm before you do the whole thing.
