Frame rate issues on export
I’m trying to finish up a project, and have run into a problem.
I’m trying to export a sequence from FCP 5 in the Animation codec, 30 fps, millions colors+. It seems to export okay, but it is exporting at 13 fps. Same thing happens when I try it right in QT Pro.
I have no problems with exporting to the above settings in Motion, Shake, or Cinema 4D. Just FCP and QT.
The sequence settings are 720 x 486, 30 fps, Animation, as that is the format of the video clips I’m using.
Any ideas?

How are you doing the export? Don’t you want 29.97 fps? Your sequence is really set to the animation codec?
You should go to flie>export>quicktime movie
make sure the current settings is selected in the setting drop down menu and the make movie self contained tickbox is checked.

Yep, I want 30 fps and animation. Sequence is definitely set for animation, because that is the same a the clips I’m using on the timeline, and they were not required to be rendered (plus I double checked the settings…multiple times).
I’ve been using QT Conversion, and its been saving as self contained.

Okay, are you getting real time play out with the animation codec?
Don’t use quicktime conversion, use the quicktime movie export with the settings I outlined in my other post. Another thing to check is the original quicktime movies themselves(i think you said you’ve done this) and just make sure that they are at 30fps. Also, when you play a quicktime and hit command-i (to get info) make sure you are reading the movie fps and not the playing fps. The playing fps will be determined on how fast your machine can play the quicktime, the movie fps will be the actual frame rate of the file.
