Thanks Vince,

Let me see if I understood this correctly. I’d have my laptop running the movie from FCP, and a 2nd laptop that would run it from a .mov file in QT, both computers connected to the projector via a KVM switch? Or should I copy the FCP project file to the 2nd laptop and direct FCP to my external harddrive which contains all of the footage? Probably a better idea since .mov’s frequently export as a bit washed out.

Cheers,
Magnus

Hi again,

I just realized that I can have both, which is cool. Bad news is that I can’t find my Snow Leopard install DVD…

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, it’s the XH A1 and no, I didn’t film progressive. On Friday I will meet the theatre technician so I will try to make a self-contained movie by then. QT Pro 7 with color compatibility definitely sounds like a good idea but I’m not sure if I like the idea of uninstalling QT X and downloading QT 7 plus buying PRO. It sounds like a run-around.

I will play the film off of my own computer so I could hook up the firewire drive with all of the footage and play it straight from FCP to see what it looks like. If I see screen-tearing or experience jerky playback I’ll have to go down the QT 7 route.

Thanks again!

Thanks a lot guys,

Today I hopefully find out what kind of beamer they have and I will take it from there. In any case, it looks like I won’t be making the DVD.

Hi Rafael,

I actually made it 320×180. Perhaps it’s the Linear PCM (not AAC) that caused the size to remain the same. Total bit rate is 1798 and I restricted data rate in export to 437, like suggested.

Again, I appreciate how quickly people come to the rescue over here.

Rafael & Reid,

Thanks for your swift replies. However, none of the suggestions generated a video smaller than 100mb; Rafaels suggestion on lowering the data rate gave me a blurry 310mb file and following Vimeo’s instructions (and Reid’s) gave me an ultra-crisp 425mb file at 1280×720.

The blog designer came back and said we’ll link to Vimeo instead, so it’s all good.
