    The last version, I believe Final Cut Studio 2:

    You couldn’t pick up more inconvenient camera than that one… You might have better luck with
    iMovie and the footage from that camera.

    I was afraid it might be something like that.
    When I saw that Share menu, it looked like iMovie / iDVD combination.

    And it obviously behaves like iMovie, the first few versions were just like that, working,
    but painfully slow.

    Well at least it works… 🙁

    So, the recommended workflow is FCP > Compressor > Toast ?

    Why not just straight out from Final Cut 7 (through that Share menu)… or is it broken?

  • DV PAL 48 kHz Anamorphic

  • I don’t think it’s that.
    The Audio Mode has only one option 16 bit or 12 bit and it is and always been set to 16 bit.

    I know it has to be 48 kHz and don’t know where would changed it.
    It must be something else, must be something about the source of the footage, the fact that is coming from P2 or something.

    No problems with footage sourced from tapes. Done it many many times before although not in 16:9
    mode.

  • Tried both; Firewire PAL and Firewire PAL Basic.

    I learned that many years ago, as a Canon owner I’ve had trouble with that so I had to use Firewire PAL Basic.

  • Jeremy 🙂

    I know you know much more than me, so I consider this one as a typo. It’s either NTSC or PAL,
    can’t be both.

    Yes Michael, it’s PAL all the way, I’m in PAL (just across Tasman 🙂 land.
    That’s not the issue.

    It’s something else.

    I did talk to the client and he’s happy with a Quick Time file, but I’d still want to know,
    where was the problem.

    Thanks to both of you

  • Yes, it was shot only on P2 as that one is the only one that shoots 16:9,
    couldn’t use Canons because they are only 4:3.

    Used Canon GL2 only for printing to tape, that turned out to be unsuccessful (video only, no audio).

    Tried different sequence settings (I don’t really know what to change, everything looked OK to me),
    but could not get the audio to tape.

  • Sequence is 48 kHz and I printed to tape to this GL2 Canon before and never had problems.
    Only setting I know is one where you choose 16 bit and was never changed…
