Activity Forums Compression Techniques HD to BetaSP

    I am stumped. I have a short project (sequence settings 1920 x 1080, frame rate 23.98) that I shot on Sony PMW-EX1. A festival is requesting the piece and they would like it on BetaSP.

    Before I forget, I have FCP 6.0.4 and Quicktime 7.5. Don’t want to get a thrashing!

    I have tried several compressions and had my best luck so far with making a quicktime right out of FCP using current settings (XDCAM), opening it in Quicktime, and then exporting to quicktime movie using uncompressed 8 bit, 720 x 480, and changing frame rate to 29.97. The resulting clip plays great in Quicktime. When I bring it into FCP and put it into a SD timeline the audio is no longer in sync.

    Is there another compression that I should try? Am I totally screwing up somewhere along the way?

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Peace,
    Suzan

    This is probably best answered by one of the experts in the Final Cut forum
