Thank you all! i’ll do a software update and bump my memory up (which it was in the plans anyway).
a.Imac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 2GBram
FCP 7.0
OSX 10.5.8 -
good point, no, i didn’t. Would that be enough to fix that? Worst case scenerio: what if still adding the time of rendering and exporting i still get high numbers?
-
thanks daniel, i’ll give that a try.

Hi Rafael, thanks for your reply, so based on what you say there are no difference in the final output if I export with NONE or, lets say, Animation? It is true that NONE gives me huge files but what about compression and resolution, do i lose any if exported with something else?

yeah, i was just wondering what attributes to select cause i’ve had tried them all and neither font nor color font changed. That sucks.
thanks anyway.

It’s the Aja LH 5.1. I had read somewhere too about editing in a timeline setup on uncompressed 8bit and then “…making certain that you do not allow FCP to change the settings to match the footage. Now, you’ll need to resize every shot depending on if want to go letterboxed, anamorphic or centercut.” Would that be the way to go?
i did a comparison using this method and the other one i mentioned before, exporting a quicktime with an animation preset and reimporting in a NTSC timeline to export to the Betacam, it looks better in the sense that it keeps the composition of the shot but i’m sure there’s A LOT of quality lost in this whole process.any thoughts?

This is not really an answer to your question but maybe an add-on. (wasn’t sure if i had to start a different post or stick with this since it’s around the same subject, sorry)
i remember loosely reading on the manual of the P2 that USB was only for PC and Firewire for Macs? If that’s true, is there any reason for that? (that would explain your problem)
And i think my question would be the other way around, could i use an USB with a Mac? We’ve got this camera with the busted Firewire plug and need to transfer some tapes (don’t have a deck or anything else)thanks

thanks a lot!! at least on that side, having a back up of the imports and the project sequences, we were smart enough. Definitely from now on i’ll store the p2 as well.
Now, my last question…i hope, since all this MXF talk is becoming a whole new world now. Let’s say that the project i’m working on for some reason can’t be worked on my system anymore and the system we’ll work on can’t open the QT’s, and let’s say i do have the MXFs. Would we have to import those MXF into this new system and re-edit? or is there some sort of “reconnecting” media that would read the in and outs of the edits? Does that make sense?
thanks for your time, i know experience on the field will teach me but the less i could screw up on the field the better 🙂 -
did we lose quality when converting to QTs that we might not be able to get back? I forgot to add that we’ll be blowing-up these material, and previously taking it through the whole process of color correction and digital/visual effects. Are we gonna face some problems during these process by not having the original source to rely on? This also makes me ask if the person doing these processes will have problems working with the QTs in other programs that are not editing related, like AE or Color, etc?
thanks guys, i’ll definitely remember the film stills analogy
