OK, that was the answer I guess I was looking for, not hoping for though.

Is there an intermediate codec that is a comparable size/quality to h.264? I’ve edited with a h.264 (for web) and it works fine. Of course I convert it to ProRes before bringing it into FCP.

Do you know if Panasonic’s AVC-Intra will address the audio issue? I suppose that it is again more a video specification than audio, but since they are gearing it toward the editor, hopefully they will consider a good way to deal with audio as well.

Sorry, I think I confused you when I said it was for file delivery. It’s for editing, not for end-user.

For example, Dialogue on one track, Effects on another, and Music on another. I want the editor on the other end to be able to selectively/individually modify the tracks.

We’ve been sending in ProRes, but the time required to send via net is becoming difficult as deadlines get tighter. I’ve found that you can send as h.264 and then reconvert to ProRes without losing much visual fidelity. That might be a contentious issue for some, but I’ve found that it works for me. However, I don’t want to have to send separate audio files, if I don’t need to.

For example, Dialogue on one track, Effects on another, and Music on another. This would be for re-editing on the other end.

I want the editor on the other end to be able to selectively use the tracks individually as they see fit.

Right, of course, AAC, what was I thinking.

I use Sorenson Squeeze and in the audio options, I get stereo, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1.

If I want 4-channel audio, would I just use anything other than stereo?

Thanks

Someone from the production company got back to me and said to send back for conversion. Apparently someone forgot to flip the switch on the camera.

I had a similar issue, not sure if it could be related, did you check the Frame Offset in System Settings under Playback Control. Once I set it to 0, all was fixed.

Mine was only off by 4 frames though, sounds like this might be something else.

Good Luck!

Oh, I see. That’s great that they let you use any codec you have. Choices are good. ProRes it is!

Thanks guys

I think this may mean the Render Files are lost. The one time it happened to me, I could not figure it out. Luckily, I didn’t need to. Hope someone else will chime in.

You may want to look at the pixel aspect ratio a little closer. If your footage is 1440×1080, then you’ve got a 1.33 pixel aspect ratio. Of course, FCP is going to display properly, because it detects the ratio and corrects for it, however from what I’ve read so far, Quicktime is not so smart.

It sounds like your export is fine, but Quicktime isn’t correcting the aspect ratio automatically. There are a couple threads on ways to tell Quicktime to play your clip at the correct ratio, but maybe you can search for them.

Best
