Thanks for all the tips guys! In the end, I went with the erase tool with a feather and because it was only 20-odd frames it worked fine ☺

Cheers!

I have a clean plate I’m using and I could just animate a mask I guess it’s only about 20 frames but I thought there would just be an easy way to expand the matte to get rid of that fringe …

Hi
I’m having the same problem, trying to export HDV material for YouTube from FCP 7, maintaining the 16:9 ratio. Every sequence setting I try seems to result in distorted footage.
Can anyone provide the correct settings or process to export 16:9 HDV material that will display properly and be suitable for YouTube?

Cheers

I’m not using fcp for this, the footage was supplied. So I’m exporting fron QT as a QuickTime movie, mpeg-4 codec, linear pcm audio with the 2 Discreet Channels option and that seems to work 🙂

Further investigation reveals I can export the .MXF file to my drive OK, but even if I shoot a clip on the camera, import it and try and export it right back out again I get the same error….

Thanks… do you mean Apple ProRes 422 HQ PAL as the sequence preset, with PAL CCIR-601 Anamorphic 16:9 selected in the Sequence Settings option? (We’re in NZ so I’m using PAL). Would I choose Anamorphic 16:9 if the TIF files are 16:9 anyway?
What about the 4:3 letterboxing… any recommendations?

cheers

Thanks Dylan. The footage came from an XDCam and was edited in Avid in 16:9 and then just exported as a sequence of TIF files… so I think the quality is OK there, I just want to find the best format to use when I assemble them in FCP as DV PAL Anamorphic looks horrible
