thanks for your reply…

are there any other down sides to bringing in the hdv as pro-res… the increase in file size doesn’t bother me so much… i’m more concerned with getting the best picture quality possible… especially when i have to burn it to dvd or print it to mini-dv…

no just going off the computer… i don’t see why this should be happening… i just choose text from the pop-up in the canvas window, write the text and edit it into the timeline…

should i perhaps trash my preferences?

hi arnie,

my settings are just dv-pal with 16:9 aspect ratio…
i am just using the text from within fcp and editing it into the sequence…

i don’t ‘do lunch’ i eat it and certainly nowhere near anybody ‘doing’ it…

thanks for the insight tony,

i’d actually already done that myself and was looking for someone who might of had experience in purchasing one as i found it difficult to navigate through such a vast amount of information.

do you get paid to insult people on this forum or is it just a hobby?

thanks john,

does this mean if i used the apple intermediate codec it would be less processor intensive..

also, if i do use aic can this be exported back out to tape at full hdv quality?

Thanks for that neil,

when you say better performance does this mean that the quality of the image is in any way compromised?
