Apple “loves” Panasonic – maybe they want consumers to beleive that their dvcpro hd footage is 1280×720 especially with the arrival or the new HVX… well, that’s jsut a conspiracy theory.

hm, well, that QT update just gave me a headache. good to know. thanks.

Okay. That’s what I have too.

This is why I started asking questions:

Back in december, I used FCP media manager to export clips from a DVCPRO HD sequence. The clips exported were 960 x 720. I mean literally, even in QT.

I repoened the same scene file I used in December (exact same settings) and I exported the same clips using media manager and now the exported clips are 1280 x 720. (QT says 1280×720 FCP says they’re 960×720)

My only guess is that maybe I was using Final Cut 5.0.2 or 5 in December and they corrected the issue in 5.0.4 —

Anybody else had this problem?

When I import the captured footage in FCP, fcp says it’s 960 x 720 – but when I open the footage in QT, it opens at 1280×720 – there’s no mention anywhere in the “info” that it it 960 x 720 – if I import it in After-effects its still 1280×720. I used the correct presets when I captured (the one I found on Ken Stone) — Whn you open your captured clips in QT, how do they show up? What’s the QT info box saying about the format?
thanks

well, okay – I think Apple must’ve changed something in the way DVCPRO is being handled.

When I open my dvcpro clips in QT – the current size and the normal size are set to “1280 x 720” at least I would expect one of them to be at “960×720”

I used to export clips from the media manager and they would display in QT at 960 x 720 – now when I export clips from media manager, everything is displayed 1280×720 – like some magic thing happened. Could be a software I updated at some point, but this is very strange. Right now, all seem to indicate that my footage has been captured at a true 1280 x 720 and not 960 x 720 with an anamorphic flag.
