hi Walter,
I think I am maybe epxlaining wrong. (I usually do LOL). I know you can export from FCP to a MOV file and import. But I know there is a way around this. FCP can create file or something from a clip and import right in AE then add FX, render and it should be already taken care of in the FCP timeline.
Isn’t the 1920x 1080 size better then the 1440×1080?
For viewing on HD TVs, and even on the web (I know it is compressed). why do the larger more expensive cameras only come at 1140×1080 while the smaller cameras come at 1920×1080?
That AVCHD works seamlessly form the Canon in the example. So I don’t understand all the issues with AVCHD.
The Canon XH A1 is affordable. Uses tape but shoot only at 1440×1080. But the cheaper Canons shoot VIXIA HF S100 or the VIXIA HF S10 shoot at 1920 x 1080.
Is there a camera that is similar to the Canon XH A1 price range that shoots in AVCHD in full HD 1920 x 1080?
One more question regarding the Panasonic format. Is AVC-Intra and DVCPRO HD the same or different. Do they both require rendering when placing into FCP?
