Re: MP4
I have a load of mp4 files that i need editing in FCP, whats the best sequence preset for this format?
Also within this edit a have a few .movs thst are 480 x 270. Can these two work together?
The final video will be played on a “50” screen.

These clips are less then full screen – even for SD.
When you convert them as dave mentioned. I would leave the size UNchanged to avoid further image degradation.
They will be letterbox and pillar box in a NTSC sequence.
You can double up the video layer and blow up the back ground, blur, lower opacity to fill the screen if you want. Or you could use a jump back grfx.Chris Tompkins

Thanks for the comments. Very helpful.
It is going to be played back via a DVD-PLAYER. I have noW converted all these clips to Pro-Res like you have mentioned, and about to bring into FCP.
Any ideas what preset i should use from here once all the editing is complete?

Once edit is complete you said you’re making a DVD.
That is your best settings.
Do you know how to make a DVD?Chris Tompkins

Have a slight idea but want to be 100%. Im assuming its as easy as putting in toast – through the video option then DVD-VIDEO?

When you are done editing:
Export using “Current Settings” Make self-contained. This is your digital master – keep it forever.
Take that file and:
Drop it into compressor and choose a DVD preset (You can tweak settings if you know what you are doing)
OR
Import it into DVDSP and let it encode to mpeg2 for you in the back ground.
OR
drop it into toast with the DVD Video settings.
