Hello Don and Kaya,
I have a 1TB external hard drive to store all my footage and use an 800 firewire. I just got my MacBook Pro with the same specs as Kaya. So this is why I was surprised to see that it looked like a processing issue.
I’m still pretty new to Final Cut but I think I have my settings correct. Shot and set on XDCAM 1080p30 V.. (the variable setting).
I was told that the quality doesn’t actually change when I export so that’s good news.
Thanks,
Janet
