If you are compressing the audio too, Compressor don’t see yet the difference and assign the same time than to the video. But the audio compression is done fast. So in the end is the half of the supposed time.

Hi,
Which codec is your sequence? Is is DV you will never get any good quality.
You better try 8b Unc or so. But I think that with still you will allways have to rende.
If you are down-sizing the images in FC probably you will have to add some blur. Anyway for working with pictures I would always recommend you AE or Shake. Kiping the levels right and exporting a .MOV with a YCrCb codedec if you want to bring it to FC.

Hi Tony,
I suggest you to do what Jeff says. Compressor with a ref movie once you have rendered everything. Compressor can take very long time when you send from the time-line, because everything is re-rendered. Also when you work with Compressor with the “Frame Control” in customer is very slow. But if you dont go to change the field-order, the size, and you don’t go to do any retiming, you can work with that option “off”. For me normally it takes to compress the MPG2 a bit more than the double of the duration of the clip. This for a two-passes VBR.

Yes Peter I understand that is not just to shift the field order. To do that the “Shift-fields” in FC would be enough. What you got is a big mess of lines and for these cases Is why I recommended you Shake or RE-Vision FK.

Hi Peter,
If you got Shake you can try it with the “Conversion” in the timing tab. It suposed can do things like that re-interlace movies that has being rendered in the wrong order. With FC you should have a look to RE-Vision Fields Kit or similar. RE-Vision Fields Kit is a very good tool and affordable.

Alan,
I’ve been like that for few months with the FC 5.0.4. I had acces only to the Lucida Grande.
Only when I up-dated to the 5.1.2, i started to be able to chage font.

Ed,
This why I do it in FC with BorisCC, RE_Vision or Nattress. The de-interlacer of Photoshop is too basic. In AE you can get it well done with the same plugins. There is an article in the COW comparing the different methods. Although to make still mai not be necesary to use the most precise one.

April 17, 2007 at 4:34 am in reply to: EPS files into FCP keeping quality loss to a minimumHi Toni,
Fc do not support EPS. If you are having problems with your PNG, you should look somewhere else because PNG keeps all the quality of the EPS.
Are you editing in DV?

Hi Rob,
I agree with Jeff. The H264 is amazing. The presets in Compressor are OK. Use the one that can fits you.
Just one recommendation: Deinterlace before the conversion.

April 16, 2007 at 3:18 pm in reply to: green screen. to tape or directly to FCP. which is better?Absolutly right. Not differece at all from the tape or FireWire.
I’ve got just a SONY DVCam DSR-PD 170 but when I capture to chroma-key with the Blackmagic in 8/10b Unc, I can not belive that image come from my own camara.
