  • MPEG2 Export not possible from FCP using QT

    Posted by Peter Krajcik on January 15, 2007 at 4:50 pm

    Hi,

    I can’t see MPEG2 export option using Export/Using QT Conversion dialog menu, when I tried to export timeline to MPEG2.
    FCS reinstalled, all apps seems to work correctly. (10.4.8, MacPro, all upadated, …)
    What could be a problem ?

    Thanks.
    Peter

    This functionality is no longer in FCP. You have to use Compressor to encode MPEG-2 files. Export a QT reference movie and take that into Compressor.

    All the best,

    Tom

    Or you can reinstall DVD Studio Pro 3 which will add it back to your system…be sure to remove current versions of the Studio apps before installing or it will try to write over the newer versions. After installing, rename the app to the older version, return the newer ones to the Apps folder and export away.
