You’re a king among men!

The concept is so simple I can’t believe an hour of googling got me zilch.

Thanks so much Darby!

Ha! Tried converting footage via Compressor, and it plays without having to render.

Weird.

I wonder why Quicktime is creating semi-incompatible ProRes files…

WEIRD!

ProRes can play real time, but I’m noticing something odd.

When I take an image sequence from my 3D app, and make a MOV with Quicktime, it plays in FCP, no problem.

BUT, when I convert an MP4 to a ProRes MOV in Quicktime, it doesn’t! I’ve noticed that FCP is reporting the frame rate as 10fps, even though it’s not, causing it not to play in realtime in FCP.

This is odd behaviour.

Thanks for the reply!

I figured it was Dv that killing me… the resolution I want to work at doesn’t really exist in DV…

I’ll give Easy Setups a try!

Edit: Hmm… I’m playing with other codecs, but the still need to be rendered. And converting my footage to 422 increases the file size 10x! Yikes.

Is FCP only designed to work with DV in realtime? If so, there’s my answer.
