Thanks Rafael,

I actually did a few tests last night and the 5DtoRGB was MUCH better than the native FCPX transcoder. I was actually surprised how much better it was. You could see farther into the shadows, colors looked better, and the edges looked sharper.

FCPX was similar to MPEG Streamclip. I didn’t see any difference betweent the two.

I like FCPX so far, but for longer projects I will take the time to use 5DtoRGB. The results were just better.

Hi Andy,

We upgraded to 3.17 a month or so ago. The client has since brought in a .mov file and it worked fine, the only issue with that are the cc’s don’t show. He did the cc’s using maccaption software and did an output to quicktime. We were hoping that would be the answer, and it was partly. The .mov file went through but no captions.

The problem seems to be with the MPEG2 he does using Compressor. I’ve never seen this particular error message from Carbon before so I’m just baffled by the whole thing.

I know Carbon has an scc inject option, but I’ve never tried that and would need to call them to see if that could only be done using a program MPEG2. If so, I am back at square one. The client has done his part. He delivered an MPEG2 with cc’s embedded. Now we just can’t get it to broadcast.
