This is very strange Dave. Some Sony files are ok, others are not.
I have gone back to 12..0, and still a perplexing mess.The split screen in color correcting finally makes PP equal to FCP7. Plus all the other color features.

Thank you Dave,
I have considered that.
Specifically these clips are straight out of the camera (XDCAM EX1080, etc); no transcoding. That has always been the beauty of PP as opposed to FCP 7; where it was so unstable, and required transcoding to ProRes.Would Adobe intentionally out Sony codecs? That seems extreme.

DVDxDVPro is dedicated software for this task. Has a lot of functionality.

Sorry to disagree, but I find that EX footage only performs “marginally” well in FCP7. If you start to color grade or apply filters, you become subject to crashes, and slow performance. Rendering to 422 on the timeline means that every time you lose render (while applying filters) you are back to unstable EX, until you re-render.
I recommend converting EX footage to ProRes 422 BEFORE importing into FCP 7.Al Davis

Yes – Chapter markers only.
Thanks for your response Jeremy; but as I said: worked fine for me as well on my Macbook pro that is similarly configured. So I surmise that something is up with either Compressor or the vaunted “Qmaster” on my Mac Pro Tower. But what???? I tried quite a few obvious moves (see my original post).Al Davis

Chris,
When you encode to H.264; you need to set the audio to AAC.
It defaults out of FCP to Linear PCM.
This is a common mistake, and easy to fix.
BTW – you technically don’t even have to change the file to .flv; but perhaps your client will feel better if you do. Flash players easily read h.264(.mov).All the best,

Yeesh – I wouldn’t touch that!!! I need to earn a living; not engage in science projects. Use the free app. Nice little gentle toy, that works; and can toggle back and forth.
All the best,

Rafael – there is a really nice app (free/donate) called “32- or 64-bit Kernel Startup Mode Selector”

Once installed and set; it will boot you up automatically in the 64 bit mode. And yes I JUST figured this out after a year. And YES – I find it makes a HUGE difference – particularly with application launches etc.

Seems fair to me – Lets give it a try.

Ok Scott, I have been there as well. In that case Flash is even better, as I have found this to be the MOST universal cross platform codec of choice. As much as I favor QuickTime; we produce Flash for all our web clients with embedded video, for that very reason.
