[Robert Garry] “Export your FCP sequence using compressor. There are built in formats that should suit your needs. I would suggest using the “Best Quality 90 minutes – 4:3″ setting.”

THANK YOU!!! You saved my butt, for real! All the stuttering went away and this sucker is smooooth…

Hey, thanks, I just wish I knew what any of that meant. I’m pretty green. I’m trying now to replace all the mp3s with aif’s cuz i remember hearing that could be an issue. But I also heard that FCP6 was supposed to have solved that.

I still need advice for laymen, if any is out there.

Thanks a lot! that video really explained plenty for me. now it brings up a new question:

i have about 80 pics i need to fit in this slideshow. i didn’t enlarge them as you suggest, and most are under 300kbs. i don’t mind having black on the sides of some pics, cuz they are 60 years old and it creates a mood that i like. is it important that i go back and enlarge all the pics in photoshop, and if so, is there a way to replace the pics already in the timeline with their new bigger duplicates?

and if so, will all my motion and transitions remain intact?

i know this is a lot to hit you with, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ah crap! Well, if this is just for my own entertainment, is there a tricky way around it?

And thanks for that quick response!

[David Roth Weiss] “Viewing the canvas on the computer monitor is the problem.”

Here’s what doesn’t make sense to me. I just went and tried to edit the pics on my lousier laptop with FCP 5.1 and the pics lost no quality at all. So why does my new iMac with FCS2 look so dreadful?

And wouldn’t exporting to QT movie show better quality. It shows everything else fine with that. There has to be another thing I’m doing wrong.

Computer, but the video I added to the timeline looks perfect.

They range from 200k – 1mb I had to scan them in, but they look excellent even from the browser in FCP. But as soon as I drop them into the timeline they get terribly muddled.

I am viewing them on the computer monitor and it’s in Dv/DVCPro ntsc, if that’s what you mean by what sequence setting.
