That’s very helpful. Thank you. I’m also going to try to compress the file prior to dropping it into studio pro.

Stupid logo. Forgot about that 🙂

A super cheap method would be to upload the file to youtube for free, then rip it back down using a site like this:
https://www.ripzor.com/youtuberipper.html

That will provide you with a link to an flv file of the video.

You’d have to test this -the quality might not work for what your client needs. Also, Youtube is a public forum and you’d want to take the video down after putting it up -or not do this at all if the idea of having it up even briefly would freak your client out.
Good luck.

Are you asking about why fcp doesn’t change the name of the quicktime file in your capture scratch folder when you change the name of the clip in your browser? what’s your ultimate goal?

Using a little bit of film clutter for transitions (overlaying some end burns and light leak style film flashes) can be a nice transitional element, especially if you’re working with the vignette. But if it doesn’t work to suggest an old movie kind of feeling, I think a little bit of diffusion, or as was already mentioned, a glow – works nicely. Don’t know what plugins you have, but Too Much Too Soon is a set of sharware plugins that has 2 great diffusion filters.

Also, if you want to emulate a lab process, like bleach bypass, you can use the 55mm digital film tools plugins. I think it’s now called DFX 2 and distributed by tiffen. You can download a trail at the website: https://www.tiffen.com/dfx_v2_home.html
That particular set of plugins has some really nice pro mist filters and other tools that can help you soften the look. But you don’t necessarily have to go soft or slow with flashbacks. Look at all the “Saw” movies. Their flashbacks are generally sped up and extremely harsh looking. But then again, that might not be useful if you’re not working on a horror movie promo. 🙂

OK – I was offline for multiple days but I’m back, if anyone’s still reading this. Full is not checked. Should it be? Does not being rendered at full mean that the render will work for playback, but not for layoffs or making self contained movies? Thanks to both of you guys for responding.
