You might want to try sending it back to (or importing it into) FCP and then trying Quicktime conversion which offers good control of the image and file size.

Thanks for the stats and the widget! I will be putting the whole system through its paces before I go so we can see if that size difference is legit and if there will be any issues versioning it here in terms of the HDV codec in non-fcp rooms. Thanks again.

Yes, the monitor is very important. Will take care of that. As for the HDV upload, forgive my ignorance, but for a 30 second spot, would that be smaller? Also, the spots will most likely be versioned in an AVID/DS or some other non-FCP suite that may not play as nicely with HDV as we are used to. Thanks for the thoughts, Peter.

The reason you have that line for unaffected clips is that the compression or codec of your clip does not match the timeline settings. Make sure the two match and you should resolve the issue.

By normalising I think you mean giving it a rough mix, which unfortunately is exactly what you need to do. However, the way FCP is set up, you should be able to give a 30 min program a rough ‘screenable’ mix in 60 minutes or so. Set up your audio sliders and use the keyframe recorder for the music to help streamline things. The only other thing I can think of is to send it to SoundTrack Pro which may have the tools you are looking for. good luck.

solved it! you first have to make it offline and then you can go to clip settings to change the tracks.

I feel your pain somewhat, but agree that this is a workable system. You can easily direct things to where you want them to be and set up folders that embrace your workflow. One useful practice that I have started is creating a folder for the project itself called “(title) elements.” In there, I put the project itself as well as subfolders of things that will not be recaptured from tape once I go to restore and old project like motion projects, VO waves, slates, and any other elements that are not huge in size like video, but will be neccessary should I need to go back to this project in the future. You can put this folder anywhere you want and when you are done with the job, burn it to a CD or DVD, or wait until you have enough of these to fill a CD or DVD and archive taht way. This has worked for me and maybe it will help you sort this out. Good Luck.

I have had the same issue and I don’t think DVDSP sees chapter markers in compressor, but if you do a straight QT export (no conversion) and leave the encoding to DVDSP, it does work. good luck

It was the version #….Thanks Walter
