1/About sequence settings, what is better: that I keep my i50 sequence (that I DO have already of which 90% is i50 and about 10% is i60) and then apply Deinterlace, or that I create a new p25 sequence, paste everything (i50) in there and render? Then keep going on the p25. Am I gaining anything (quality/faster rendering, etc.)?
2/Now I have all these Brazilian clips on the timeline (jerky and video is off), and I just can not start over from scratch.
What I thought I’d do is create a new “NTSC” bin in FCP browser, create a new i60 sequence, put all i60 subclips from the i50 timeline to the i60 one (otherwise they’ll be i50 subclips if I put them from the i50 timeline direct to the bin), and from the i60 timeline to the “NTCS” bin, then (if needed duplicate everything as master clips) and batch export as i60, convert in compressor (to i50 or p25), put everything back in a “PAL” bin, and reintegrate on the timeline clip by clip.A few questions : is there a better work(around)flow (or “workflaw”…)? Do I need to export subclips as independant, or can it be reference only (i.e. will it slow down compressor or anything)?
Many thanks in advance (my deadline is Monday, and I still got work to do otherwise ; scary…).

>> Don’t edit in i50. Mostly when you gonna end up in a WMV that will be played from a PC. << Well, I captured in i50, I thought the easiest was to edit in i50, then export and convert. Anyway, my current timeline (and most clips) is in i50, and I've been editing for a couple of days already (until I found out about these i60 clips), so I'm not starting from scratch. I guess I shouldn't try to convert everything to p25, should I? What I thought was to select clips and shots right within the i50 timeline, then when I'm done, I'll convert only selected clips, that made it to the timeline, vs. converting 12 hrs of interviews if I only need about 5' of material. Then (where I'm at) isn't it easier to convert i60 clips to i50, and then render and export? Can I apply the same settings you mentioned but i50? Thank you again. — AB

Thanks for your input Rafael.
Just to be sure: will 1080p25 fit into my 1080i50 timeline?
This is delivered as a file, so what I usually do is export using “Current settings”, then I use Flip4Mac to convert it to WMV 1280×720 (best ratio quality/compatibility I found for this particular client, knowing that this is intended to be viewed in a presentation context, with a videoprojector out from a laptop). What would be my best go here?
Also one more question: for ITV (talking heads) parts, I obviously need audio and video to match, but for illustration shots, I don’t care about sync. For these, can I just put them on the timeline and render?
Thank you again.

Thanks to all who responded. Actually, I gor a chance to compare the original DVD with my version, and pixelwise, it wasn’t worst (and it looked better with my color correction). I copied the whole project and we took it to a facility where they will do the beta output.
Thank you again.

Many thanks Russell for your quick reply.
I just checked that “high quality” box in QT, and it didn’t seem to change a lot as far as this jagged line is concerned.Any other idea?
As to Color, I’ll give it a try later, thanks for the advice. I forgot to mention that I’m using FCP 5.1 for this (2×2.66/3 Mac Pro).

THANKSssss !-)

Replying to my own post —
PS : the sound is also turned off whenever I’m triming with left and right arrows on the timeline. -
Thanks!
“Make independant” wouldn’t do. Couldn’t dinf another way, so I ended up just pasting “old” objects, mispositionned, and used copy/paste attributes on the timeline.
Still interested to learn about some proper way to do this.
Oh, and FCP 5 BTW.

Many thanks. Traffic seems a bit much just for this. Any chance I can use another simple XML editor? E.g., this one : https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor.html
TIA.

Sorry, just a repost because I messed with the back and forward in Firefox…
