I got the answer to my export. I jsut wanted to export the edited sequnece as a quicktime file that could be used in future projects or encoded directly in Media Encoder. I had some problems with aspect ratio in ME
but got the answer I needed to straighten it out in this thread.

I have 8 GB in my macbook pro 2.2 quad core.
My Mac Pro has 10 GB RAM but is the older 2-2 core 2.6 ghz
it also has a 2 drive internal raid that is very fast.
My talk show is about 20 minutes of 4 camera MC shoot.

the nested sequence has a red line and when I press play it displays unrendered. The seq settings seem to be in order and the same as the hdv footage.

I don’t have any empty clips in the source seq, but I removed 2 video and 2 audio from the nested seq. Performance seems about the same maybe a little better. It goes from 2-4 frames per sec and then gets up to speed and goes full frame rate, then drops back down to 4 fps.
The source seq has the 4 hdv tracks of video and audio. 3 of the stereo audio are muted, taking my sound from audio 1.
The source seq has a yelly line at the top, and the nested seq has ared line.

I was out of town yesterday.
the footage is on a Thunderbolt Pegasus Raid 5. It should be more than fast enough. I changed the playback to 1/4 res, but that doesn’t seem to apple to multi cam switching.

I’m using a Thunderbolt Promise Raid 5. It clocks the read around 325MB/sec[256 blocks] and 24 MB/sec [4k blocks] with Xbench. I’m not quite sure how to read the results but it should be plenty.

As for the rendering the multiclip sequence will play the 4 video streams in the viewer all at the same time. If I click in a quadrant in the viewer it stops. When I drag the multiclip into a new sequence and play the multi clip is shows Unrendered in the canvas window.
Then if I play the multiclip seq (open checked)in the viewer it will play, but if I click on a quadrant it stops and switches to the wave form.If I play the canvas it shows Unrendered. I’ve watched a couple of You tube tutorials and I must be missing something. Can you recommend a good tutorial to watch?

Thanks, that worked. I thought I tried this before, but maybe not all the settings at the same time.
Any idea about the vertical jitter issue? I tried Progressive but it was still there on mp4 files at 24fps. when I change it to 29.97 there is no jiggle.

I have tried this and here is what I get. Everything lines up except the pixel size doesn’t adjust with the codec. If i adjust it manually I get 1620×1080. when I output I get a black border on the top & bottom. I’ve Never seen this before outside 4×3 & 16×9.
If I go in and adjust the aspect manually I get squeezed video with a black border.
screen shot included.

Yes I’m some what frustrated. I started with Premier 5 and when I got to 1.5 pro, I switched to FC about 4 years ago for strategic reasons.
I really liked Premier, but have gotten used to FC now.

I would say I’m a novice encoder. I understand that the various
settings can cause the output to be off-kilter. With todays web end use My clients need more expertise.

fc as you know has an export form the timeline as I think PrPro once did. I see by design we don’t need it any longer so much.
Media encoder is fine, but you would think there would be a preset to do this. It is a good way to archive projects in an edited form.

As for settings I have tried many different settings in order to get things to work. I don’t know about all of the variables so I am shooting in the dark. My source footage is HDV (1440x1080p. I made my sequnce in PrPro new sequence from clip to keep the settings right. no problems in FC or compressor.

This is a bit like building the airplane as your taking off in it.
I still have media to deliver.

Any ideas?
