So what is ur delivery? What are u trying to do? How are u getting it from fcp to compressor? Are u trying to compress an edited sequence to a flattened prores?

This is all great if you want to manipulate audio levels in the sequence but how about doing it at the browser level does anyone know how to do that?

This is the root of the question I’m asking…is pal and NTSC only used to reference SD video?

[Scott Sheriff] “More info on what you’re trying to do would really be helpful”

It’s still in the early stages of planning. Shooting and producing pieces that will live most likely exclusively on computers, played back with various media players in potentially US, EU, South America, and Asia. Shot in those various locations, edited here in the US.

[Scott Sheriff] “Are you having to incorporate footage from other sources?”

No, we will acquire all of it.

We don’t need to downconvert to SD, everything can live in HD.

Thanks for the great info…I’m learning a lot from this thread, need to get out of my foxhole more often! 🙂

[Scott Sheriff] “If we are talking transmission standards:”

What if we aren’t?

I’m trying to understand what kind of decisions I need to make on production workflow.

As I understand it:

I have the ability to select PAL, NTSC or NTSC-J in my PDW 700. I’m not doing any transmission on my end and I’m going to produce final pieces in NTSC and PAL.

Seems that NTSC-J is really only a factor if transmitting the signal (which I’m not)

So, between NTSC and PAL, is it better to go with more frames and convert down to PAL? Or is it an easier convert up to NTSC?

I use an app called “is clip used” Phillip Hodgetts makes it and its very helpful identifying clips that have been used.

Select layers, right click, sequence layers…will sequence based on their duration. Options to overlap included

Screenshot of the sequence settings from fcp7? It has to be something from there.
