Absolutely agree with you Scott.
They are simply mean. What do they try, to save a couple of GBs on their system, or screw FCP users?[Dave Farrants] “I have 2008 – 1.2.3.4 & 5 on Dropbox at the moment as someone on another board wanted them and couldn’t get them from the Apple link, em or pm for download link.”
Good to know that, Dave, and thanks.
I keep in my HD the 2007/2008 PAUs.
The kids at Apple probably have free Internet access, but here I pay 3US$ per GB.

[ChrisMarsh RetronicaVideo] “I m a low budget video maker who for whatever reason seems to be unable to get my head around the whole exporting business. I m a filmmaker, not a computer engineer Jim”
If you are a budget video maker you will have to learn things that millionaire video makers don’t need to learn. They hire a video editor.[ChrisMarsh RetronicaVideo] “Right now i m using a Apple intermediate codec 720@50 on the timeline settings. “
That’s a poisonous codec. Avoid it.Start by having a look to this tutorial:

If you are editing in FC, the best option is to do it in FC, but not using the FCs default deinterlacer, is as bad as the one in QT.
You can use Re_Vision FieldKit (probably the best in the market), or the Nattress.
Once your movie is edited and exported, you can use Compressor (setting “Frame Control ON”), or jes deinterlacer. MPGStreamclip too.
However the best is to do it in FC, most of all if you are adding graphics/titles.
Edit your interlaced footage on a Progressive sequence, and just before exporting, drop the deinterlacer on the clips in the time-line.

[jay church] “to anyone that is familiar with that encoder, is it better to check the “deinterlace” option in the “size” section of the quicktime movie settings, or to choose one of the conversion settings (interlaced conversion, progressive conversion) under “chroma subsampling” under the behavior tab in the x264 settings? or a combination of the two?”
Is important to avoid the “Deinterlace source video” in the QT GUI (size). The default QT deinterlace is crap.
Deinterlace with whatever other application before to make the xh264 compression.
Then on the x264 options (Behavior) you must chose “Progressive conversion” because your footage is already Progressive. That affects only to the way Chroma is compressed.

Make sure that the video is really interlaced.
When you shoot p30, the files shows up also as i60, but in fact ther are what is called PSF.
In that case you only need to check the clips as Progressive (NONE) and edit as Progressive.
So, get somme pics with a lot of movement on, set the Canvas at 100% and see if they are really 2 fields in the picture.

Funny.
Is the first time I see/herd of that warning.
Which kind of non supported footage are you putting on your time line?

[Scott Sheriff] “The only real thing the .1 final rev does is fix the render out noise bug. There is a workaround to get a noise free Prores file out if you’re in a bind and can’t get to 4.1.1”
That bug affected not just to Prores.
Any stuff with more than 8b got corrupted.[Scott Sheriff] “There is a workaround to get a noise free Prores file out if you’re in a bind and can’t get to 4.1.1.”
Just for the curiosity, can you explain it?
That bug drove me nuts for a couple of years.

[Joe Hubbard] “1) First of all, can I just drop in the 1080p footage (since it’s the same framerate). I understand that it will automatically resize, but if I zoom in on the footage to 100%, is there any quality loss??”
It will resizes only if on your FCs User Preferences> Editing, is checked “Always scale clips to sequence settings”. Uncheck that, and it won’t resize.[Joe Hubbard] “2) For the 720p footage, after conforming in Cinematools, I get beautiful slow motion. But how can I use this 59.94fps in my 23.98fps sequence at 100% speed?? Can I just drop the unconformed 59.94 footage into my 23.98 sequence or do I have to convert it somehow??”
So you need the clips on two versions, one slowed down and the other at the original speed.
When conforming on CinemaTools you must always do it on duplicated clips. Once conformed the footage there is no way to conform back to the original speed. Well, there are ways, but is not easy.[Joe Hubbard] “3) For the 29.97fps footage, how can I convert it to use in the 23.98fps sequence?? Again, can I just drop it in??”
Just drop it on the sequence. It will look more choppy because frames will be dropped.If most of your footage is 59.94fps and 29.97fps, you should consider editing at 29.97fps instead of 23,98fps.
