Hy,

I think I got sucesse in here. I tried to do the same thing that I have done to export my project to .avi, but now i tried to export to quicktime movie, using the compreessor too…and the final result was the all project exported…with the same quality that ,avi had.

So… I guess that avi, mov, mpg and all that stuff are just “packages” right? The important its the “interior” of the file, the dv-pal, hd, and the other options that we can choose.

Am I wrong?

Someone can help me on thins?

Hy,,once again…thanks for all suport.

Starting from beggining…i´m new on this..as i said…and i was using windows moviemaker to capture my videos of my minidv cam to PC…and i saw that if i export it on .avi the quality was better then the other format available(mpeg2.mov,wmv,etc etc etc),dont know if allways happens that but it what I got, so ..because that i´m using .avi since then.

Now i just capture my footages to finalcut using .avi too…and now what i´m trying to do its to create some montage, transactions,efects,etc etc etc, on FCP, and export it in the end to an .avi format , because what i said before, but just to watch wiht the better quality possible…to use the best quality of my camera transfering to FCP.

I hope you understand me.

If uou can help me about that format thing..i´ll thank you.

To export my footages to FCT with the better quality possible of the cam, what format i should use? And what format i should use to export my final sequence? not to website and stuff like that…just to watch and maybe later transfer to DVD.

Thanks for your support.

Best regards

Hy guys! thanks for your attention. I´m working in Imac 27″, and I use .Avi because its what i know better, because I was using Pc´s. Im new on Mac´s. Maybe you can helpme with that too…. why not .avi? any format are better then that? On pc´s i had bad results with .mov por exemple, less quality image.

About my issue…maybe Todd is right! I remember, when i bought my Mac, that i downloaded a version of flip4mac to watch .avi movie…maybe i downloaded the trial version as you said. I guess I have to install a full version of it, because i tried to export into quicktime and the result was the expected, export all of my clips, and i repeat the process again but using the convert, and the result was bad again…just the 1º clip exported:\. I´ll try to find a way to install the full version of flip4mac and then i will post here the results of that.

If you can help me with that format thing..i aprecciate that. Cause I just use.Avi because its what i know better…but if you think that there´s no diferent between .avi and other format…or another better format than .avi for minidv cameras, please let me know. Has I said..i´m new on this.

Thanks to all

Hy,

Thanks for your help.

Yes I want to export in avi(do you know any format better then that to minidv clips?im new on this). I can do that..but i just can get the 1º clip of the all timeline, the 1º clip in avi. When I export the all clips…the sequence…just the 1º clip its exported:\. That´s my problem.

“In the browser window(top right) right click on the Sequence icon you want exported choose> export>using qt conversion. Then choose the compression you desire.”

I did that yesterday and the result was the same…just the 1º clip of the entire timeline was exported.

I think im in troubles right?lol.
