Timeline questions
We are editing on a timeline that is HD (960×720) (16×9) 23.98 timebase with the compressor at DVCPRO HD 720p60. Most of our footage was shot on a Varicam at 720p 23.98. We are going to be out putting to HDCAM at 1080 24p. Should our compressor be at 4:2:2 uncompressed or ProRez instead of DVCPRO HD 720p60 when we output. Does that make a difference?

It will make a big difference in the size of the file, not in the quality.

Nope, we output DVCPro HD directly to HDCAM with no issues.

Did anyone find the place where this can be set at:::::
New Playhead-Centered Zooming Commands in the Timeline
Final Cut Pro 6.0.2 includes three commands for playhead-centered zooming and navigation in the Timeline:
* Zoom In on Playhead in Timeline: Keeps the Timeline playhead centered while zooming in (regardless of the selection in the Timeline).
* Zoom Out on Playhead in Timeline: Keeps the Timeline playhead centered while zooming out (regardless of the selection in the Timeline).
* Scroll to Playhead: Horizontally scrolls the Timeline so that the playhead is centered in the window. -
Hit option-j and type ‘zoom’ in the search bubble from within fcp.

I do the same thing…DVCPRO HD 720p 23.98 directly out via a Kona 3, upconverting to 1080p 24psf (23.98) to HDCAM. Zero issues.
