Thanks for the detailed process Gabrielle. I wish I’d had it yesterday as the show went out then. I will give this a try next week and let you know about the steak dinner. 🙂

Gary,

Thanks for this information. I assume they are taking HDV footage into FCP as DVCProHD as opposed to capturing as native HDV then exporting as DVCProHD. This is very helpful to know. I may recapture my HDV footage and try compressing out in that format to see if I get an acceptable DVD movie. Thank you!

The ONLY reason I would go to DV is to get a tape that our SONIC DVD system can hardware compress a MPEG2 movie from as I’ve not been able to get a clean MPEG2 out of the timeline. If someone could give me specific procedures/settings for getting an MPEG2 out of the timeline I would be in heaven! It just has to be a SD DVD movie at 16×9 that would show as letterbox on 4×3 systems. If you can tell me how to do that I’ll send you a gift certificate for a steak dinner! 🙂

Steve, In the same way can I create a DV timeline, copy the HDV timeline into it, resize to fit the 720×486 format then output to DV? I’ve got to get a DVD master out Monday for replication and unfortunatel don’t have time to locate a deck to rent. Thanks for your help.

Boy that is disconcerting to hear but thanks for letting me know. If I wanted to output to a hard drive to take somewhere else for output what format/compression/etc. would be best to output to? Thanks.

I just had this “hair pulling” problem trying to output a HDV show. I discovered that some comps I built in After Effects in the HDV codec were causing the problem. They imported fine into FCP and did not require rendering. I rebuilt those comps with the Animation codec, imported them to FCP and rendered them in the timeline. Then output work like a champ. This might not be your problem, but if you’ve got some After Effect comps, try pulling those out of the timeline and see if it works. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response Mark. Probably is overkill for what I’m looking for. Nice interface though, I’ve heard great things about it.

That is what I figured but wanted to make sure. Thanks guys! Anyone know of a good firewire or USB input device to capture audio sound files? 🙂
