WMV Plug in for Mac
I am trying to export a short video promo from FCP using the WMV plug-in for the Mac.
The first part of the project is video footage, the last part is all text with motion paths. When the export is complete, it doesn’t export the text part of the video, just the beginning. It cuts off the last part of the project.
Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks alot-Mark

Mark,
You have to buy the Flip4Mac licence, the demo only allows a 30-second export for trial purposes. The $49 cost for Flip4Mac id weel worth the price tag.

David,
Is the $49 version ok for most needs, or does the $99 version offer significant benefits?

Chris,
I think I actually have the $99 version myself now that ya mention it. I knew I didn’t yet spring for the HD version. I suspect that the big difference in $49 vs. $99 version is that the $99 pro version allows import and export from all apps under QT, and so thats the one most of us would really want.

$49 version is presets only and 1 pass encode only.
$99 version is still 1 pass encoding but allows the user to create their own settings. CBR encoding can target data rate but 1 pass VBR is “quality” based (as defined by Microsoft).
$179 version allows 2 pass encoding (only way to target a data rate in VBR encoding since 1 pass VBR is “quality” based rather than data rate based). It also allows full HD frame sizes such as encoding to WMV HD for playback on HD monitor at full size as well as surround sound and lossless audio encoding. -
Thanks for clarifying Craig.

Do you own the HD version? I’d like to know some good settings for it, since until now I wasn’t too impressed with the quality as compared to H.264, but I always hear they should be on par.
TIA,
