Hi Russ,

thanks a lot. I will try Motion next time. I ordered the FCS2 🙂 But anyway – I need to solve the issue now on the current project and I only have FCE at the moment.

Cheers

Hello Tom,

thanks a lot for your feedback. No – I am not working on a video monitor. But I can tell even on the timeline if I compare it with the quality in iMovie. Well – that could be rendered different. I just thought if I export it from iMovie using DV then the colorspace alone is just 4:1:1 and it is already compressed which may not matter.

What I now do with Motion – I just import it and drag it to the timeline – that works with Motion but not iMovie. I can open iMovie files in FCE and then add those as a sequenz to the FCE project.

I just thought many should have the same problem and there have expierenced what is the best way to do it.

Can you tell me what is a good and affordable way to work with a video monitor. I heard that I shouldn’t connect it through my video camera and maybe my old TV is not the best viewing option either.

Thanks and kind regards
Andreas

Hi,

an iMac will do get the job done. Just don’t get the lowest entry model because it hasn’t a good graphics card. The 20″ iMac is probably a very good choice. Add plenty of RAM (by yourself) and max the drive.

Cheers
Andreas
