Problem matching capture & timeline settings for instructional videos
Hello,
I’m using screen-recording software (Snapz Pro) to create an instructional video and then FCP to edit the captured .mov file. I have 2 questions. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated:——————
QUESTION 1:
Seems no matter what Quicktime codec and settings I use to capture with Snapz, the file always requires rendering, even when importing into FCP with identical timeline settings. Is this a limitation of FCP 3, or am I doing something wrong?Snapz/QT Capture settings:
Video:
– Sorensen Video 3
– 15 fps
– Keyframe every – 500 frames
– Quality – MediumAudio:
– IMA: 4:1
– 22kHz, mono, 16-bit—————-
FCP Timeline Preset settings:
– Framesize: Custom (739×513)
– Pix aspect: Square
– Field dominance: Unknown (not set)
– Editing timebase: 15QT Video settings:
– Compressor: Sorensen Video 3
– Quality: 50%QT Audio settings:
– Rate: 22.050
– Compressor: None (no options to chose from)
– Size: 16-bit
– Use: MonoOne peculiar thing I notice is when I check the clip’s Item Properties from the FCP browser, FCP shows the video rate as 10 fps, although as I mention above, I set it to 15 fps when capturing?!
——————–
QUESTION 2:
After editing and rendering the videos, I export as a Quicktime Movie and get nothing but a blank white screen for the duration of the video. FYI, I’ve confirmed that Range Check is off. I would list all of the Export Settings, but it seems to happen regardless of the settings I select. I can however export as a self-contained FCP Movie without a problem.Thanks in advance for any/all help.
Regards!G4 : OSX 10.4.1 : 800MHz : 512 MB : FCP 3

I’ll bet that “Medium” in SnapZ doesn’t equal 50%… might try a different codec that you KNOW you can match exactly in FCP…
