Major Issues while exporting In FCP 7
Hi guys,
I have a project which runs for about 9 minutes, but when i export it to a .mov file with HDV 1080P30 setting and I have done this twice.. it only exports 7:42 minutes and the last minute or so is cut out. I dont really know what is happening can u help me?
After playing around with the exporting here is what I found out…
If I export it into an .mov file using the “current setting” it exports the full movie but if i change the current settings to “hdv 1080p30” or dchdvrp 1080p30 onlt exports 7:12 minutes..
I dont want to use current settings because when i upload it on vimeo or motion box is doesn’t recognize it, any ideas??
Current Settings codec: apple pro res 444
Here is something which I tried.. remember how i mentioned when i export using the current settings (apple pro res 444) it give the entire 9 minutes movie.. so I created a new project and imported that 9 minute clip and then tried exporting it to HDV 1080p30.. it only gave me 7:42 again !!
Any Ideas???

Ali,
First, welcome to the Cow.
Now, in the future, please help us to help you to get the precise answers to your questions that I’m sure you would really like. Your post above is one of those classics we get here all the time these days that:
1) spends many paragraphs telling us all the various things you tried that didn’t work.
2) never asks for the proper and most efficient method for achieving your goal
3 leaves out the most important technical information, which in this and almost every case is: the codec and the specs of the camera original video that you’re editing. (mentioning the camera also helps, as some cameras shoot true progressive and some don’t).

i cant really help with the weird problem,
(but what is the frame rate of the original, i wonder?)BUT
in generalt, the recommended approach is to export using the current settings,THEN to take that file into Compressor, and convert it to whatever you need.
you have a bit more control in compressor,
and better quality scaling.oh, and why export as HDV?
