  • Problems exporting from FCP to Quicktime (crawling text issues)

    Posted by Brydie Sheen on March 13, 2009 at 2:09 pm

    Apologies for being long winded and hope this makes sense to someone!!

    I have tried exporting (a 3 minute clip) from final cut pro 6.0.5 into a quick time pro 7.6 (472) and then burning to idvd!

    my footage was log/captured from a canon xha1 under the HD setting and at 16:9. pretty sure imported it under the sequence preset hdv – 1080i50

    a couple of problems have occurred. i have used the standard crawling text and then tested with Boris crawling text and tried a number of export approaches….remaining consistent with the hdv 1080i50 presets and 16:9 (exploring different outcomes via the exports : movie, compressor and conversion). For some reason no matter what approach i take the crawling text (when played on a HD 16:9 plasma) always ends up jittery/staggering and looks no where near as smooth as it did in the FCP browser (before exporting as quicktime). Im not sure how i should be exporting and what settings are necessary for the text to crawl smoothly.

    Also when i export as QT conversion i go to format as QT movie – options – under video go to movie settings – and set compression type as HDV 1080150. Frame rate 25 fps and Key frames set at 24 or automatic. Now, when i apply these settings the frames (and people/images) are also transferred all jittery – much like a jump cut. Again these problems only become evident AFTER I have exported using quicktime. so im pretty sure its just a matter of finding the right compatibility/settings.

    Why wont quicktime play back exactly like the footage when played on my sequence???

    If any one can help, i would very much appreciate your time.

    thank you, thank you thank you!

    What Now?
