Thank you Steve. All this has helped me “wrap” my head around it better – and I made a nice ProRes “Full Res” preset for Encoder once I figured it all out.

Todd- I finally figured this out. Newbie mistake.

Set the format to Quicktime and then change the Video Codec to Apple ProRes422 or HQ, change the size to 1920×1080, Square Pixels and it delivers a full res .mov file. I take it that 48 bit depth is better than 24 bit depth?

Thank you.

Well, then I guess i don’t understand what Match Settings means in Export. I just want the same settings as I have in the timeline.

Let’s put it this way – when I use Match Settings the resulting MPEG Quicktime can not play the video and I get a black screen.
Is there anyway around that and match the settings in the timeline?

Thank you.

Todd – thanks for your response.

I’m trying to export a full resolution file with the same parameters as the clip in the timeline without any compression. Sounds simple enough.
The resulting MPEG Quicktime file does not play the video (I get a black screen) whereas MOV files are okay. The only choice in PP for Match Settings in a MPEG file and nothing else. The client wants a full resolution Quicktime file that they can play. This was easy in FCP since it outputs a full resolution MOV Quicktime file.

I hope that makes better sense now. Thank you for any help.

I take that last comment back – it output the QT movie fine but still needed to render. However the render worked fine after the output. I also made the timeline clips smaller if that had any effect.

I’ve been getting the Out of Memory error too on renders using FCP 6 with a MacPro and 4GB of RAM.

However if I Export to QT Conversion without first trying to render the timeline, it works fine as it renders the timeline and makes the movie at one time.
