HI,
I have found that I was capturing in FCP5, Easy Set-up DV_NTSC 24P(23.98) Advanced pulldown.

This setting does not allow the use of the external monitor.
I tried switching to DV-NTSC on the Easy set up and the external works fine.

So the question is what ‘Easy’ setting should I use tp capture footage that was shot with a DVX 100 24 PA setting. The program will be viewed from a DVD to either a plasma or LCD screen. I want it to look it’s finest.

So do you ingest the footage in one setting in FCP 5 and then switch to DV NTSC for the edit, so the you and the client can view the footage on the external monitor?

Your thoughts?

Thank you!

Clarification on my last post. When I turned mirroring off in the System preferences, as Tom suggested, now I get a dual monitor setup as if I was doing a dual monitor edit. The cursor will go from screen to screen.

I need just video playback out to the external monitor.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hi Tom,

When I do this, I get a Mac screen on the external display, but still now video display on external. It just stays on the mac screen. Not the destop, but the standard mac blue background. I have made sure under View, External Video, All Frames. Still no success in getting playback to the external.

Suggestions please and thank you!

Can you lend some further info on how you set up in Photoshop to create your labels. I also use Espon software and printers but would like more versatility by utilizing PS..

thanks in advance.

Hi Again,
Don, I finally got it through the noggin what you meant about importing it/exporting through itunes.
Thanks again for your help.
If you do have a favorite setting in QT for audio let me know.
Thanks again.
LDJ!

Hi Don,
Thank you for your help. Your solution worked on the missing audio, but another problem has arisen. I burn the AIFaudio program to CD, but it does not play on a good old CD player. Plays fine on the Mac, but no CD players. Acts like it isn’t even there.

Do you have a recommendation on this and also which setting do you use in the AIF options in QT conversion, like Linear PCM, (currently selected) or
A-Law 2:1
IMA 4:1
MACE 3:1
Mace 6:1
Q Design Music 2
Qualcom Pure Voice
u-Law 2:1

Thanks again in advance for your help!

Thank you for your replies. They have been real life savers.
Do you think the above issues are why I’m getting errors when I try to burn a DVD in iDVD?
Thanks again.

NEVERMIND – Equipment malfunction/OE
Thanks again for your advice, gentlemen!

Gentlemen,
Why am I not getting audio in my final compressions. Sometimes, music, but not VO. What am I missing on the audio side?
Thanks in advance

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for all your great advice. I found a good setting going with Sorenson 3 compression, but I found that the music tracks were there, but not the VO tracks? Any ideas on why this is? I left the audio uncompressed, since it is quite important for the project. Great music, but no voice?
Thanks again,
LDJ
