I’m not trying to make a DVD. I need to render a movie (1024×768) to be played on a laptop to projector. Any suggestions on codecs to achieve a small file size and high quality video at the same time?

Hi Chris,

Just viewed the show reel of your site. Wow! Phenomenal Work. So is the majority of work done on those commercials by you? Or is it a team effort? In addition to doing the editing, compositing, etc. are you also the one that shoots the footage for the commercial?

Chris,

For a complex comp, what programs do you prefer using and why?

(Sounds like an interview)

Thanks Jayse I appreciate the help. So your DVD has 6.5 upgrades in it as well?

Thanks for your help.

Can you give me instructions on how I can find and use the media manager to transfer my files?

Sometimes your capturing will end midflow because it has exceeded the number of minutes allocated to a capture. You can change this by going to FinalCutPro/System Settings under the Scratch Disks Tab and uncheck the limit capture size/min.

I’m not sure if this will help but you can also go to the log and capture dialog box (file/log&capture) and under capture settings select non-controllable device.

Hope this helps.

Copied from my Mac System Profile, Hardware Review colum:

Writable: Yes
File System: Journaled HFS+
BSD Name: disk0s5

I’m running on OS X 10.3.8 so I’m assuming it’s utilizing the HFS+ filesystem. Anything you would like me to do to confirm this?

HFS+ is the preferred filesystem on Mac OS X. It supports journaling, quotas, byte-rang locking, Finder information in metadata, multiple encodings, hard and symbolic links aliases, support for hiding file extensions on a per-file basis, etc. HFS+ uses B-Tree heavily for many of its internals
