High def in FCP
I am a new high def FCP user with version 6. I have a recurring problem that FCP does not recognize my canon cameras(gl2 and now a vixia hv 30) so I inputted the hd video via imovie and then imported the files to FCP. I have now a beautiful sequence with no flickering, ready for DVD. I outputted the sequence and burned to IDVD and the final product flickers in certain spots and the quality is less than using my standard def video. I am so disappointed but somehow think I am doing something wrong. I have never had my videos flicker(usually I see this in photos but not video). I believe my sequence settings are right (hddvcpro 1080i60) so now am suspicious how the best way to export and then burn to dvd. I understand I cannot burn high def but I hope the quality is better than the flickering problem…..thanks so much for any help with a good strategy to export hd and burn standard video….Marianne ANgelillo

Use Compressor to make the MPEG-2 file for DVD.

iDVD is a toy. It is worth learning to use both Compressor and DVD Studio Pro if you want to make quality DVD’s from FCP
