[cjohnsen] “I would normalize and add small amount of compresssion to audio in soundtrack pro and then import aif to FCP and lose all my gain even though the db says 0 inFCP.”
Anytime you add compression, you loose audio levels. Try using the compressor in FCP and playing with it instead, if you don’t want your audio levels reduced outside of FCP.

David…
Why do you want to compress to Real? Real is a dying compression format that is becoming less and less common by the day. Everything now is either Quicktime, WMV, or Flash. And which ever you choose, Compressor can do them all – with the plugins added, of course.
For WMV, you’ll need the Flip4Mac WMV Studio. For Flash, you could use On2’s Flix Exporter for Flash 8. Both are under $200 and work absolutely well.

[John Pale] “Try creating a new sequence with the correct settings, then copy/paste everything from the old sequence into the new one.”
I always thought this was an error that Apple should have addressed. But I’m sure they won’t.

Here’s something….
Ask your web developers if you could give them Flash video files for the website. If so, you can go to On2.com and visit this page:
https://www.on2.com/consumer/flix-exporter
And then you can export your timelines straight to Flash video – much more web friendly. I have to do this with a show sponsor who wants a copy of their shows for their website.
I mention this because you said that they take you AVIs and encode them again? This would solve everybody’s problem, and you could stay away from those icky AVIs.

I’m sorry, but I have to ask…
Why are you exporting to AVI?
AVI has lesser quality than Quicktime or WMV. In order to export to WMV, you’ll need to purchase Flip4Mac’s WMV Studio series plugin. Which one depends on what you wish to do. Personally, I have WMV Studio Pro but it doesn’t output HD video. I haven’t needed that just yet.

[kayjisp23] “I am taking 12 minutes of video about our company from a DVD and exporting it as an AVI. The problem is, only 2 minutes of video exports. I tried exporting from After Effects just to see if it was the application or settings, and the same problem occurs. The source video has been taken from the DVD by capturing to miniDV and with MPEG Streamclip.”
What software are you using to export to AVI? Quicktime? Cleaner? I ask because I have yet to sucessfully export a clip or timeline to AVI. Now, I have been able to export a Quicktime movie and open it in Quicktime and then export to AVI but not from FCP or AE.

[Peter Wiggins] “I’ve got the ATI card in my 3G Dual Core Mac Pro and have not experienced any problems with 10.4.8
At the moment I’m only running with 2G of ram though.Ram & fibrechannel card on the shopping list”
Well, Peter…. I can tell you that at the moment, 2 gig is all you can use for whatever reason. Not sure if its Apple’s problem or a problem with fiber channel card drivers.
I purchased my system with 7 gig of RAM and an ATTO FC-41ES fiber channel card, and it sucks that I can only use 2 gig of it right now. Anyways….. keep your ear to the boards to see when we get over this problem before you purchase and let the RAM sit on a shelf.
