Oh, and the dropped frames on the timeline will not affect an output to DVD.

One more thing – have you tried a full render? Any green or yellow bars above the footage? If so, they should be rendered first.

The “storage” partition on your system drive should not have any media files on it. Even though it’s a partition, it’s still physically on your storage drive. This could be the source of your trouble.

Also, 1.25 GB is an odd amount of RAM. 2 or 4 GB might help.

Sequence settings will effect your playback capability. In short, if ýou’re cutting off of a single drive, stick with DV.

I’d guess its more likely because its FCP 4. It sounds like compressor is broken.

Can you open compressor as a stand alone app?

Can you export a self-contained quicktime?

[Bill Dewald]

Well, everyone can play Flash video, but it can’t be exported out of FCP without 3rd party apps.

Quicktime will play on PCs that install the Quicktime drivers. Most people can do this, but some can’t – due to unwillingness, lack of computer savvy, or strict corporate firewalls.

Bear in mind that Quicktime on a PC isn’t the friendliest bit of software – constantly advising to upgrade to QT Pro, wanting to become the default media player, etc.

So, to be as accommodating as possible, Flash video is the way. But, its entirely reasonable to expect a PC user to be able to play a QT file.

(or you could make an mpeg-1. yuk!)

Copy and paste the clips into the new sequence, and then remove the basic motion (and perhaps the distort) attributes.

You’ll have to reposition any clips that were purposefully scaled (i.e. picture in picture, etc.).

How do they have any money left for this?

The “political use” vs. “commercial use” argument is the only sane point. After all, if a politician can’t get any hip musical artists to support him, he’s fighting at a disadvantage. Is that fair? Probably.

I think the McCain camp was really hoping that they could get away with it. And I hope that was a big mistake.

I don’t have the bitrate on the tip of my tounge, but FCP will tell you it via Item Properties.

Wonder if that has anything to do with this:

Since quality isn’t paramount here, could you shoot it off the TV screen and ingest it that way?
