Thanks Craig,

Only a few seconds of my video encoded and the quality was bad. I used the Quality > High Quality preset but that was going to take 2 hours for a 2 minute video, seems excessive. I’m use to MPEG Streamclip choosing Windows Media and letting it go. Works great, takes a minute on an old PowerPC. I’m just so frustrated that this is harder to accomplish on Windows.

It is true that having more RAM will help your computer run other programs better while FCP is open, but FCP itself will not use more than 4GB. And definitely do not buy it from Apple as Bret says, ridiculously overpriced.

FCP only uses up to 4GB of ram, getting more ram will not improve FCP’s performance or render speed. I would suggest getting a 7200 RPM hard drive.

With all due respect, Googling would have gotten you some of your answers quicker than waiting for a response.

#1. Capture DV or DV anamorphic, depending on what you shoot. If you shoot 16:9, capture anamorphic. Read the GL2 manual for more info. Edit in DV and export DV.

#2. This answer has several factors. Where are you delivering this video to? Web, DVD? What is the majority of the footage, HD or DV? Really depends.

#4. You can search and read the FCP 7 manual online. https://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=14%26section=1%26tasks=true

Some good resources for learning are Ken Stone’s site and Larry Jordan’s site.

Is there a green bar above your footage in the timeline? If so, your sequence settings don’t exactly match your source footage.

Also, double check that the playback quality in your timeline is not set to Low. This is on the left hand side of your timeline; there is a little arrow that says RT that is a dropdown menu with the playback options.

Why are you exporting H264 from Quicktime? Just go direct to ProRes from Quicktime Pro then bring it into FCP.

Try bringing your file into MPEG Streamclip, then doing save as and selecting MP4 in the dropdown. See if that works.

Compressor does not preserve TC, so no there is no way of keeping it. Have you tried dragging the entire contents of the card onto your hard drive and using L&T? I mean instead of straight off the card.

MPEG Streamclip won’t preserve it either.
