  • Trouble using QT Converstion to .AVI…

    Posted by Jon Boffa on September 23, 2006 at 3:07 am

    Every time I export using QuickTime Conversion, .AVI type, and using both DV/DVCPRO NTSC and “NONE” compressor settings, when I click save FCP just shuts down…

    My timeline has HDV footage, and the sequence settings are DV/NTSC, with HDV compression.
    Do these settings conflict with the .AVI export function???

    I’m going crazy b/c my local cablestation needs it in either .avi or in a burned DVD. I have the DVD but I would assume an .avi file will be larger and better resolution. Is this correct? My workflow in FCP is shot/captured HDV (as said above) and I exported using Compressor to a “Best Quality 90 min. DVD” setting, and then used DVD Studio Pro to burn the commercial to a DVD. Will this be adequate for cable TV or will the DVD be very amateur / low-budg in terms of resoltuion/ quality??

    Many thanks!

    Try exporting a QT movie (no QT conversion). Open the movie with QT player and them export to .avi.
    About the DVD, if you have done a good MPG2 compression, is curious but normally look even better than the original . avi or .mov. The film in the DVD gets a texture les “blocky’ and more agreable than the video.
