    Quicktime Output

    Posted by Ntz on August 10, 2005 at 9:41 am

    I have been using FCP for a while. Switched to FCP 5 a few weeks ago, and the quality of the Output sucks!
    I use the DV-NTSC codec, for footage shot on mini-DV, export to Quicktime with the sequence settings,
    and I dont understand how it can play fine in the timeline and look great on the monitor, and then give me
    this shitty picture once i open the quicktime.
    Anyone know whats wrong?

    Thanks a lot for that answer but it didnt help. Its the quicktime output that sucks, not the quicktime software. The DVD output looks as bad.
