  • Offline QT video from DPX

    Posted by Dolps Fernando on June 10, 2008 at 8:31 am

    Hi guys!

    How can I make an QT video for offline from my DPX source clips? Ideally with DV resolution 720×480 and NTSC-DV codec. Plus, can I burn-in my timecode in the video?

    Cheers!

    First, you’ll have to make a QT movie out of the DPX sequence. You can use Glutools or the DPXtoQuicktime tool that is free from AJA. It can make a standalone clip or a Quicktime reference movie (smaller). To make DV offline clips from them, you can use Compressor. If you want to add timecode, you can une Episode Pro which has the TCBI function for that purpose. Otherwise, you can lay you DPX quicktime in a DV sequence in FCP, add a Timecode Reader filter to it and then export with Compressor, Batch Export or Quicktime Movie.

    We talked before about Glue tools.

    the GT Version 3 allows you to create your offline footage at virtually any video frame size, but why not do something like 720p that allows you to see issues in the footage that you cannot see in SD – like Focus problems.
