urgent help needed for workflow issue
Hi All:
I am having a serious workflow issue that I would like to get some input on. I have a finished edit in Final Cut Pro (on a NTSC 8 bit timeline). I am trying to save the project to a Lacie firewire drive, take that to a friends (PC based Avid Adrenaline) and output it to tape there. When I export the quicktime movie, it comes up strange on the lACIE. it puts it down 2 times one with a . in front. It does not give it a quicktime icon. Does anyone know the proper process to do this?
Please let me know as this project is past due!!!
Thanks for your help.

Hi Roy
you should be able to export the file either through compressor or quick time. if you are using compressor export the file as DV Pal or 8bit uncompressed or what ever format you choose, if your using quicktime choose current settings and export that way. the lacie drive shouldn’t make any difference.
i’m not sure if the format of the drive may be causing a problem i.e mac to PC
hope this helps

Exporting via Quicktime Conversion isn’t going to give him the best quality output, which he is do doubt wanting.
The drive you are trying to export it is undoubtedly formatted for a PC, and probably in the format that doesn’t like file sizes over 2GB. YOu might try to export it as a QUICKTIME MOVIE, self contained to your hard drive than copy it over…see if that does anything. Or you are going to have go format the drive in a PC format that accepts higher files sizes.
