Thanks, yes I agree, way too long, my computer copes with HD fine under normal circumstances. I do have a filter on but I’ll change to prores and see if it makes a substantial difference.

Video 3.47.76MPEG 4640 x 480 pixels
Sound 3.48.05 AAC Mono

But when I take in to FCP it’s a big difference

I think it’s an issue about the frame rate.
I normally work in PAL, it’s been auto imported by FCP as NTSC at 29.97.
The visuals are going faster than the audio.
Sorry if it’s basic but what frame rate should I have this at?

Thanks Amador!

The only prob is fcp 6.0.0 doesn’t allow the transfer tool to be installed? I don’t have the camera here but have some test clips on my computer so what do you mean doesn’t let you download the clips. ?

Thank you that’s the best answer – it’s working – I knew it was simple. yes it’s not going to be clear live digital but how could it?

Thanks for your helpful answers – I haven’t used Compressor yet, actually I have been studying sound in the last year and a half and I had only been making films for 2 1/2 years before that so FCP and all this is fairly new. I will definitely take the footage into Compressor and try to do something with it – unfortunately to blow it up and letterbox the 4:3 will probably affect it’s quality – it is from old vhs footage. I am not sure how to import a sequence that is in 4:3 into the 16:9 project – is that possible? Also, are you meaning pillarbox the 16:9 stuff? Won’t that cut off the image so it doesn’t look so beautiful?

Thanks i’ll try that and be back if I’m stuck…
