QT Pro edit of exported movies
We have these long sequences that are being run through compressor after being export from fcP 4.5. After waiting an hour and a hlaf to export the movie from FCP, we discovered a mistake. I’m wondering if anyone has ever fixed a mistake in an FCP exported movie by using QT Pro to edit over the mistake. In other words instead of waiting 1.5hrs for another full movie to export, just export the corrected portion and stitich it together in QT Pro then sending it to compressor. Has anybody tried this? Will it work? We’re under the gun so we don’t really have to time to try to see if it works ourselves.
thanks

You won’t gain anything, sorry. It’s essentially the same file and it’s still going to the same destination.
There might be other choices, though, and they depend on your source format and your target format, which you have not supplied. For instance, you could edit on the videotape easily and seamlessly. If you’re going to DVDSP, you can perform the edit in the timeline there, umm, I think. Or you could compress the two files and then stitch them together inside QTPro, maybe, and just save the new file. Can’t do that with many formats like MPEG2 since it depends on GOPs.
If you really need more suggestions, you will need to supply additional information.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
