Gosh 2 minutes after I post this I figure it out. In case it’s helpful to anyone else, when the Zoom H4n is on STAMINA MODE your mode options and recording options DISAPPEAR! Hope this helps others!

Never mind just found what I was looking for! In case anyone is interested this brand is great and doesn’t have any logos or brand names printed on them.

Can I ask why shoot in 720p? I have an hvx200a and hpx170 and was hoping to mix them with 5d footage for a wedding. I wanted to shoot 1080p for blu ray. Is 720 better because of the rectangular pixels? How would 720p look on blu ray?

Wow. I didn’t realize what I was starting! haha Glad to see it finally stopped.
I guess all this just shows that as an editor you fall into one of the two categories, editing natively or not. But I did learn something through all this mess… that I am not doing anything wrong or lowering any quality by re-wrapping the files as pro res. I guess that’s all I needed to know. Thanks guys!

Do I need to upgrade to FCP 7?

Great video! However, I noticed my problem. I don’t have as many options in my log & transfer preferences. My only options are Apple Pro Res and Pro Res (HQ). The video shows multiple types of pro res including LT and Proxy, as well as options such as native and DVCPRO HD. Why are my options limited?
Also, do you know where I can find a good video to show the process of offline to online editing?

I’m one of those that learned filming and editing through mentors and co-workers (not through schooling), so I know more about what I do creatively and less about the technical aspects like this.
The way I capture is log & transfer straight off the camera (P2 cards)… I guess I should be putting the files on the computer first for back up? Does the log & transfer import the clips in DVCPROHD when it says i’m importing apple pro res files?
Yes I actually have adobe premier and was heart broken when I found out it has abilities the FCP doesn’t have. I don’t really feel like learning the program from scratch, that would really slow down my work flow. But I’m assuming that day is coming I suppose.
I have looked into mfx4mac. Is that something you recommend me doing? Or am I doing good enough by just using the apple pro res files?

sorry i responded in the last post incorrectly. I misread about the DVCPRO HD codec, and since that’s not the issue I don’t know what is. 🙁

The native codec in my timeline is DVCPRO HD 720p60… which I just read on another website, is the worst codec… hmm. I’ll try exporting it as HDV 720 then compressing to flash.
When I say high quality, and low file size, it means I’m starting with a minute long video that is 1GB and am compressing it to a 4MB flash file. As a still shot, it looks perfect HD, which is what I mean when I say looks high quality. 4MB is way too small right? I’ve used the same settings in sorenson before and the video was fine. I’m not sure why I’m having trouble with this one, but I’ve retried over a dozen times with minor tweaks. Do you have any idea what I should do? Thanks!

well that’s all I’m doing is switching to 720/30pn, not messing with the frame rate. Audio has never worked for me on that setting but all the others have audio… maybe it’s a defect in my camera? 🙁
