    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Unfortunately, it had no effect.

    Man, that is weird. I am seeing the same thing over here. I rarely use QT conversion.

    A work around is to put markers in your timeline, export a QT ref movie, then open the movie in QT and skip ahead to the markers and export the stills from QT.

    I figured it out and deleted the render files, but it is still blotchy.

    When exporting a single Interlaced field you can clean it up by applying a De-Interlace filter in Photoshop.

    Maybe downgrading to QT 7.2 would be the best way to go. Wouldn’t know how to go about that but someone here must.

    It perhaps seems like QT Export is screwing up the anamorphic conversion of DVCPRO-HD coming out of FCP.

    Can you open the captured quicktime file in QT player and export a still from there? it should be fine…

    looks like a specific FCP bug…. one of so many in version 6.

    After you render the material how does it look in FCE? The way it did before? Different?

    All the best,

    Tom
