Hey Jerry,

That’s exactly what the problem was.

Thank You very much for the help!

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the quick reply. Actually that might be the problem because I’ve been exporting reference movies since it is not the the final deliverable yet.

I’ll give it a go and report back.

The codec is Apple ProRes (HQ) by the way.

Once again, Thank You!

Hi Simon,

Is there any way I can get that option “This Computer” instead of using a cluster. I’m having trouble with Qmaster and by now I’m ready to use This Computer, but it’s not on the drop down menu.

Many thanks

Hi Doug,

I just noticed that and started looking for info. I am converting MP4s to AppleProRes HQ in order to edit them through Compressor. Even though I am sending them directly to an external drive, it still fills up my internal (boot) drive.

Did you ever figure out a way around that?

Many thanks.

Thanks Rafael, still working on it 🙂

Hi Chad,

Thanks for the reply.

The settings are:
Video Format: MPEG HD
Bit Rate: 35Mbps (VBR)
Frame Rate: 59.94i (59.94i)
Aspect Ration: 16:9
Frame Size: 1920×1080
Codec: Apple XDCAM EX 1080i60 (55Mb/s VBR)

I imported them with the same settings because it never gave me an option to change them.

Appreciate your help.

Hi Rafael,

Thanks for the quick reply. The sequence settings match my clip settings because whenever I drag the file into the timeline, I click YES to match my clip settings to my sequence settings (I hope that would do it).

It doesn’t just look bad on the Broadcast Monitor, it looks bad on the Final Cut preview window as well. Is there anything else that could be causing this problem. The original footage looks bad and when I convert it to Apple ProRes, it has the same problem.

Thanks so much for your help.
