No, it doesn’t work. That’s my reason for the post. It looks like it is upright in Preview, but when you import it into another application(FCP, iMovie, iDVD,etc…) it still is sideways. I was hoping there was a setting in Preview that would save it everywhere and I was just missing it. Try it on your machine and see if it is different, but it doesn’t work that way on mine.

I know it can be done in Photoshop or FCP, I just thought there might be a quicker and easier way to do it like you can on a Windows machine. Just double-click it, hit rotate and then it stays like that. I am by no means a Windows fan, but I do like being able to do that. Sometimes I get CDs with 40 or 50 scanned pics and many of them are upside down or sideways and I was just looking for the quickest way to get them upright. Thanks for replying though!

I didn’t think you could import aiff into DVD Studio Pro. I may be wrong, but whenever I try to import songs or audio that are aiff, it won’t work. I have to import them into FCP and then export them through Compressor and then APack them into AC3 files. I was taught in my DVD Studio Pro workshop that you had to always change aiff through APack and make them AC3 to work in DVDSP. But that was a year and a half ago, so I may be out of date. In fact, in the new Final Cut Suite, it automatically changes the audio to AC3 when you are using Compressor so you don’t have to go through APack anymore to change it. But if you do it that way and it works, great! It would save a lot of steps.

Since you already have your movie as a QuickTime movie, it would be easier just to drag it into iDVD and burn it from there. However, if you just want to do it in DVD Studio Pro, you will need to export from FCP using Compressor. Once that is done, you can import your video into DVD Studio Pro, but not your audio. Unless you are using the latest FCP Suite, you will need to re-render the audio using A-Pack. Once you have re-rendered your audio, then you can import it into DVD Studio Pro and finish your project. It’s a bit of extra work to go into DVDSP, especially if you haven’t done it before. There are a lot of special settings and numbers to use for A.Pack, so, if you can be happy using iDVD to burn your project, I would.
