Thanks~

I am creating a “quicktime conversion” file because he doesn’t have FCP on his system- but the DVCPRO HD file looks great, so I’ll go with that.

I’d love to know though why there is so much generation loss when I export a self-contained, then compress in compressor; (Even keeping the same DVCPROHD codec. My intention was just to strip the file of it’s FCP container, so that our DVD folks could read it without having to read an FCP file.)

Thanks again!

Actually, no, this is old tape footage that was brought in several years ago from an Aja Kona card as DVCPRO HD 59.94 720p.

Sorry- there was no DVCPRO footage captured or compressed. It was all DVCPRO HD, and I was exporting at these settings:

1. Self-contained, then compressed in compressor to ProRes (looked degraded)
2. Quicktime conversion at original settings (720p 59.94 DVCPRO) (looked really clean).

I was just wondering why the latter worked so well and compressing to pro res did not…

Thanks!

Yes! DVCPRO HD.

Actually, the best looking footage ended up being the DVCPRO codec, when exported at “Quicktime conversion” settings. I initially exported at as a self-contained and then compressed to ProRes, and it actually looked terribly blocky.

I guess using compressor is not the way to go when retaining quality then, correct?

Thanks,

Thanks! What is the best way to de-interlace in Compressor? My final output will be H.264. I tried a few things in Compressor (turning the frame controls on and changing the A/V attributes in the inspector,) but the footage still looked interlacey.

Thanks in advance!

Okay here’s a hardware question- I am going to bite the bullet and get an external monitor.

Here are my computer specs:

– Mac Mini, late 2012 model
– OS version 10.8.4
– Graphics card Intel HD Graphics 4000 768 MB

Do I need to purchase any additional graphics cards to install an external monitor? I am woefully uneducated about this. Any suggestions?

Oh that’s so annoying!

Thanks. Yet another reason to move on from Final Cut. Such a drag, but informative. Thanks again.

Thanks– would you be able to explain why running QT 10 is giving me these color space issues?

I do actually have QT 7 installed but not Pro, which will be the next step.

Sorry:

I’m running off of a Mac Mini 2.6 Intel Core i7, OSX ver. 10.8.2. (Mountain Lion)

I don’t have Quicktime Pro installed (yet)- just running basic 10.2.

Thanks!

Great- but where do you find the var/vm folder?

Thanks!
