Thanks for the input. I did try changing the suffix to .flv and for some reason it didn’t work for the client. I have tried using Adobe Media Encoder CS5 and it seems to have worked. We’ll see what what the client says.

Thanks everyone for the help. I think I’m okay now.

Cheers!

Rafael,
Thanks! This helps. I’m assuming I can create the mask in FCP to the proper size and shape rather than use PhotoShop. Am I correct on that?

Cheers!

If I had the time and date set correctly in my camera am I to believe that the information is recorded in the metadata and would be accessible for forensic purposes? If so, how is it accessible?
Thanks!

Thanks Tom,
That’s what I thought but I’m glad I checked.

I will give your advice a try. I appreciate the follow through. I feel much more confident that I can meet this need now.

Thanks Bill! I spoke with one local producer and was told surprisingly that quicktime would suffice. My client has been sending out b-roll disks with VIDEO_TS files and that has been working for them for years.
That is what I’m re-doing for them. However, I know HD is different. Is it possible to output from Final Cut Express to a dvd and have that work? I also have a new unopened FCP box on my desk in case I need Compressor and DVD Studio Pro to pull this off. Ultimately I could use advice on a codec and format output combination and DVD burning method that will work for HD and retain the HD quality. I don’t expect it to be “Planet Earth” quality. Just good enough to get my client some airplay for their event! If anyone has specific settings they can recommend I would really appreciate it.

Bill was helpful but after more thought I can be more clear on my needs.

I must take the footage and provide it to a tv news station as b-roll to accompany a digital press release. I’m looking at being able to make about 20 copies of the final disk for distribution around town. I want the best quality I can get through FCP. Can anyone reccommend the best way to output the file for that purpose? Thanks!

Thanks! The piece actually is under 5 minutes.
I’ll also check the other thread for information.
