Andreas — I don’t think I properly thanked you for your advice. Got swamped with the project, but it turned out well, so thanks! Will be back with trickier questions next time…

Thanks — I will primarily be using stills that were given to me as jpegs (various sizes and dimensions) that I have saved as TIFF files. (Many are quite large – like 35 mb, so I will have to see how FCP likes that.) I have not made further adjustments to the still images, but can (in Photoshop Elements) if you have suggestions since I have yet to import anything into FCP.

I will also be bringing in a few video clips, which were given to me on SD DVD or as .mov files. The quality of these clips varies, but I don’t plan to make any adjustments to the footage.

I plan to export to SD DVD through DVD studio. It will need to be able to play on an HD TV through a standard DVD player.

Since I’m just getting started with FCP, I have yet to make any adjustments to any settings. I have never really tackled settings, so if you have thoughts, they are much appreciated!

Thanks,
Erica

Hi Andreas,

Thanks so much for all your thoughts. I have just upgraded to FC Pro (from Express) so hopefully that alone will help with some of the issues I have been facing. I plan to work through your notes as I tackle my new project.

Thanks again,
Erica
