I’ve been using FCP 7 with Mavericks 10.9 for a few weeks now, and the only problem I have encountered is that the Zaxwerks ProAnimator FCP plug-in crashes FCP EVERY time. All previously created clips that used the ProAnimator plug-in crash FCP as soon as the curser touches the timeline or one attempts to render the now un-rendered part of the clip. No solution found so far! Compressor 4.0.6 and DVDSP 4 both work perfectly.

Hey, Mark, I’m having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? Is there a way to remove the drop boxes?

Hey, Jeremy,

In FCP, I go directly to Export to QuickTime Movie, specify the settings (I use current), marker settings (for chapters), and make the movie NOT self-contained. This will use your original footage in FCP, and should make it small enough to fit on a DVD using iDVD. In my case, the movie comes out gorgeous and crisp, and takes much less time. If I do a QuickTime conversion to 1920×1080, H.264, the file will be around 5GB, if I use above method it’s around 500MB, and of higher quality, but not self-contained. Therefore you must burn it on the same Mac as your FCP files are.

My question to the experts here, though, is: Am I missing out NOT using Compressor and DVD Studio Pro? My films are mostly medical lectures, filmed in front of a green screen, with photos of food and scenery as background, bilingual subtitles, and transitions.

Thanks to The Heads for a great support forum!
