Ahhhhhh, thank you! You’re a lifesaver. May I ask one final question? Ultimately, these need to be exported as 1920×1080, AppleProRes422 (HQ) — sending these to some German TV station and that’s how they want them. However, my clips are in different formats (GoPro, H264, etc.) I didn’t convert everything to ProRes422 in Streamclip first, I just imported them because I was working off a different project. In any case, I know ideally I should convert bc Final Cut handles ProRes422 clips better. However, I already have everything in the sequence, now I just need to export.

In my Sequence settings, I have it set to 1920×1080, with the compressor set as Apple ProRes422 (HQ). If I do Export >>> Quicktime Movie >>> Current Settings, will it export the string of clips to Apple ProRes422 (HQ) or will it read each individual clip’s native format?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, just a bit confused and fearful I won’t do this correctly.

can you explain how i’d do that?

merci (i’m in france vacation mode)

[John Sinclair]

Thanks — I’m doing some tests now and will run overnight.

Any particular reason ProRes in Compressor will turn footage orange?

Bottom is original, Top is run through Compressor (ProRes)

Ah, lesson learned.

Seems like this first time I around I didn’t know to bring in files through FCP using the Canon Plugin. I guess I’ll have to labor through each clip, converting through Compressor?

Thanks, Shane.

Seems like I may not have the correct directory structure.

I’m new to Mac so no idea where these files should live. I just connected camera through iPhoto and they were brought in that way. There’s no DCIM folder.

I am attempting to point to the root folder but thats not correcting the issue – they still appear light gray/un-clickable. Seems to be an issue for 10.6.6?

Bummer. Not sure what to do now! I have this camera and cant edit!
