Sorry, I really need a dumbed-down version – how do I do that? Copy and paste into a new timeline in FCP? Or export a QT and convert in compressor? I’m just totally confused, and sorry to bug you about this, I know it seems basic to you guys, but I haven’t had to FTP something so big before and I don’t know how to fine-tune the file size so precisely. Thanks again!

Not sure what the “nest” sequence option is? is this something extra or is it in the regular compressor settings? Can you guys break it down for me, more step-by-step? Sorry but I have never done a conversion in compressor, not sure how to do al this stuff? I also have to make a 16:9 sequence (24P) which was shot at 1920, into a “16:9 FHA” at 720×576 -have no idea how to execute this. Any (super-basic) instructions greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Shane, and thanks. They never told me they wanted PAL until today! Two weeks ago, when they first came to me, I made a 24p pro res file that was gorgeous! I had to make a choice of what format to export in, because they didn’t give me any more information. So I exported an HD file at 16:9, pro res.I sent it and heard nothing. Now, all of a sudden – they need very specific dimensions, which I will post in a second. But it does involve converting my 1920 HD footage in 24 P to a smaller, Anaporphic, SD size. I have no idea how to do this
This is new information, so that is why I am trying to figure out how to conform to these more specific specifications. Any help and wisdom is greatly appreciated. I will post specs now

So when I try to cut and paste the 24p sequence into the new sequence (PAL Anamorphic) it says “Not Found” when I try to paste it into the new sequence… Any help???
-
Ok great thanks. I do this in FCP or compressor?
-
I just don’t know how to export it differently – like do i create a new sequence and copy and paste? and if so, what settings? Thanks!

Thanks for weighing in. I get it now. They didn’t specify any format or codec, they gave me an ftp address so I figured I would send an uncompressed quicktime file and that way they can just do whatever they need to with it. It’s only 4 minutes so would only be a few gb’s. There was talk of having them convert it to PAL for Europe, so they’ll be going into the edit suite with it anyways. Anything else special I should do to it before export with the anamorphic in mind? Thanks.

yeah, I got a tiny bit more, but not what it should be considering they told me they didn’t care ON SET. Same old story right? Sigh.

Ha, I KNOW! It was os low-budget, they specifically said, just bring your camera, no lights, etc. Because they couldn’t afford me. So I just took the subway with my camera, and OF COURSE< I was like “This is the one time I need my lights!” AND I showed them on the monitors, we tried to mess with the house lights, and they said “IT’s fine, we don’t care, don’t worry about it. CLIENTS – AURGH>

But if I shoot in 1080 on the HPX-170 can’t I not then do 24pN – and then there’s a different set of problems?
