So, in a nutshell, this is difficult at best.
and Im further hindered by the absence of the ProRes option.
(Version 6 eh? good to know)
Is v6 still powerPC version or intel?

PS I have been trying this. (most of the afternoon, Ug!) good to know at least Im on the right path.
“Mpeg encoder” improves the quality a great deal (especially the free price-tag) and it can batch files so I don’t have to babysit the machine.

Successes (& degrees of):
10 bit uncompressed looks good … as does 8-bit uncompressed
Motion Jpeg looks good
apple intermediate codec looks good.
animation looks well, *pretty* good

outputting to h.264 again looks almost as good as the above.

on the downside:
dv50pro looks like hell no matter what.
none compression ditto

thank you to Brad and Michael for clearing some of this up.

I realize this last call is a longshot but if anyone else has an idea for me, please chime in!!
thank you

Hey Ed-itor,
you can easily do this in After effects. this of course assumes that you have after effects.
if you don’t, then there are very inexpensive stop-mo programs like “framethief” that have the capability of doing this with the click of a button.
save yrself some effort if you can.
