Is there any codec within FCP that will enable me to edit 640×480 with full RT options? Or am i to understand FCP is designed to work with tvs only and not computer monitors?
-
Rafael thanks for your response.
That was my line of thought as well, that it made sense to edit in native 640×480. However it seems that FCP will never accept that and allow me to edit it will full rt abilities/fcp’s full abilities.

Hm perhaps I should repharse this question at this point:
I do alot of work with video that requires it to be in the same format (I VJ live at music shows)
When I did my research everyone internationally in the VJ world was doing 640×480 photojpeg codec. Should I switch to 720×480 photojpeg? Will FCP be happy with that? -
“If you go with DV, it has to be DV at 720×480…it cannot be 640×480. If you do ProRes, it has to be 720×486…not ProRes 640×480. FCP likes standard video sizes. ProRes 640×480 is not.”
Hm first off thanks so much to everyone for their help.
Hm I never realized DV was a codec I suppose.
So the SD standard can be said to be 720×480 and it’s a popular confusion that it’s 640×480?
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Some how I’ve been laboring under the 640 delusion for YEARS
-
if it’s about the codec then why do both h264 and prores 422 not work in this case, despite prores of course being a fcp format?
-
wow, can’t believe 60×480 isn’t supported, isn’t that standard DV NTSC?
Should it be 720×480?

I also tried transcoding the source files to proress 422 with all kinds of different audio, same problems.
