Hi John,
The Macbook Pro is a newer one, I think it’s native resolution is 2880 X 1800. This is a hotel in a nearby town, company having their annual meeting there and they just want images to run and music to play while people are milling around before and during breaks. I was actually going to edit the slide show on my desktop Mac Pro though, do you think that is a bad idea? Does it matter?
I was planning to connect to their built in projector(s). Will call them and find out about the resolution and also I guess it will make a difference if their end is DVI or VGA too right? I have adaptors for both types of connectors into the mini port. To answer the audio yes again, plugging into their system as well.
Once I know the native resolution of the projectors, then I guess I still need to be clear on which settings to choose for the new project/sequence… will get back with answers later today.
Thanks for reply!

I had Streamclip a few years ago and after converting files they would only run for about 5 seconds or so, so I had doubts when I read that suggestion… giving it a go so appreciate everyone’s help.

Hi Shane,
I am experimenting now by setting the preset to 422LT@30 & 48K to see if that works.
Yes, and I sense your disbelief… I log and transfer the PRIVATE data folder from a copied version of the files directly off the SD card (from a card reader) taken from the camera, I import the footage into the transfer dialog, choose rough cuts in that and import those into a designated bin and go from there. Why, is that unusual? Works great for me.

Thank you, I appreciate your reply.
The company has supplied me with the iSkySoft conversion software which has worked well for other requests… however it only gives me an option of Xvid or H.264 when I choose Quicktime to initiate a conversion. So even if I were to convert those clips I have been reading that H.264 is not desirable in FCP, but would Xvid be better then?
