Dave, Shane,

Thank you again. I found Ken Stone’s article at;

https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/compressor_3.5_basics_stone.html

I exported the timeline using Compressor and followed the Frame Rate changes in Inspector (Custom Settings) and, as a trial, converted it to DV-PAL playing at 25fps and, yes, its 4% shorter as expected.

The size is 1024 x 576, the quality is unimpaired and the file size is 2.75 GB. It took 6 hours for a 12 minute film. I am now going to attempt to take it through at ProRes 422 (HQ) to get the highest resolution. As Captain Oates said; ‘I’m just going outside; I maybe a little while….’

Shane,

Thanks. It is a 24p 1080 sequence. I should have mentioned that before. The exhibitors require

‘…A high-resolution master copy of your film (mov, avi, mpg file etc. or Mini DV/HDV tape)….film must be in a PAL format and can either be submitted via an online link, where it can be downloaded or via post, on Mini DV/HDV Tape or Quicktime file on DVD…’

I have asked them for the exhibition specs but imagine that HD 1080 is the way to go. If going from 24p to 25p is a major headache; I can live with with the 4% difference.

Dave,

Thank you. I need to preserve the running time and would like to exhibit it at the highest resolution. I have inquired what actually plays the file for exhibition and will know shortly.

Delivery to the exhibitor will either be via DVD as a QT PAL file (requested) or same via FTP.

Thanks.

Cameron, Jeff,

Thank you. Yes, I’m looking at it on a tv monitor. Would it be safer to export the clip to a QT mov file for Motion?
