What are your current export setings.

when you export select the box that says use current settings, if your current footage is not uncompressed then exporting a uncompressed video is not going to add anything to the image.

Just to clarify. You don’t want an actual “Uncompressed” QT. You want a QT with the same compression rate that FCP uses to import footage. An uncompresed QT is about 2.5 gigs for every 5 minutes (Believe). You want something that is about 1 gig every 5 minutes. Right?

To do that, you go to file=>export =>”Quicktime Movie…” thats will give you a large QT file, equivalent to your FCP footage. Make sure you check the “make self-contained” box before you export.

good luck

Eriqneedshelp,
That didn’t really “clarify” anything for Raj. Since he didn’t say in his post what his
capture settings were, we have no idea what his format/codec is or whether he captured with compression or not.
For example, we capture Beta in Uncompressed 8bit all the time (the best setting for it). When we want to export
the highest quality image, we export as Uncompressed, an actual uncompressed file. 🙂
So Raj, to clarify differently 🙂 , if you’ve captured using a codec like DV or DVCPro50, then export with
the same settings (use current settings). If you’ve captured uncompressed then export uncompressed
(unless you don’t have the disk space and you’re willing to take a hit in image quality). As for the UC QT size
below, just to *clarify* that too: An uncompressed 8bit 720×486 QT is not 2.5G for every 5 minutes, at 20MBs it’s more like
6 gigs.
