What is better for picture quality

[Shane Ross]

[Cali Cuello] “MPEG @”

I assume MPEG-2, right? The only format of MPEG-2 editable in FCP is HDV and XDCAM. Those are specific MPEG-2 formats. Generic MPEG-2…is not editable.

[Cali Cuello] “IMX/MXF”

FCP doesn’t deal with these natively. Have to convert to ProRes.

[Cali Cuello] “DV-25”

That’s an SD codec, and FCP edits that. MXF…that can be SD or HD. MPEG-2…SD or HD.
