Ok, if that is the case then why when I export from my FCP to a quicktime file and a DVD that both look bad when I view them on the pro video monitor hooked up to my Avid?
I’ve heard people say that firewire is just copying 1’s and 0’s, but doesn’t the video on the mini DV have to go through a process to be converted to a quicktime file? It’s not quicktime files on the tape.
Not trying to debate you, just trying to figure this out.
If it is a settings issue on FCP, what setting do I have wrong? I went through this many times and don’t see what settings could possibly give me a better image. That goes for import, editing on the timeline, and exporting.
Can’t wait till everything goes tapeless so I don’t have to deal with this problem anymore. 🙂
