Thanks everybody I tweaked the settings and viola! with Sequence preset at Apple ProRes 4444 1920 x 1080 25 p and capture preset at DVCPRO HD 1080i50 things are looking decidedly up.

Hi Paul, Thanks for your comments. I have started a new project with the settings you outlined but am still having trouble getting the fine detail I can so readily get with Photoshop. The settings I posted originally were given to me as the best for the short film festival I’m entering.

I’m using PAL since I’m based in Australia. When I make it home I’ll post my current proRes settings and a cropped image comparing the original shot to the image shown in FCP.

I’m also trawling through old posts on Creative Cow and seeing what can help.

Thanks John,
Yes, have rendered a full res quicktime and the shots appeared much the same as they did in the canvas. I’ll keep on trying with FCP as it’s the app I know. Until such time as the wall upon which I’m bashing my head triumphs I’d prefer to stay with FCP – bloody skull n all.

Can you tell me what settings these are?
