720p is Progressive. 1080i is interlaced.

SmartSound Sonic Fire Pro. You still have to pay for the music.

Broadcast does have its fees. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

I agree with the above.

If it’s dialogue, this may help speed up the process.

Create a DV NTSC sequence. Did you shoot 480/60i or 480/30p? If it is 30p, then the strobe on pans is normal. Nothing you can do about it.

Something is not right in your workflow. Once again, edit in DV NTSC.

If you have all the apps installed from FCS, all you have to do is select the Help tap on top and poof, the manual will appear.

You never looked in the manual. It’s there.

December 1, 2011 at 9:00 pm in reply to: switch: Final Cut to Premiere – how to log and capture p2 cards

Unless you never plan to reuse the P2 card, always always always back up your P2 cards to a Hard drive. Consider the hard drive back up/s your “tape master”

CS4 and 5 give detailed instructions on working with P2 footage.

Premiere works off of the MXF files natively. FCP creates a QuickTime Movie from the MXF files (doubles your hard drive space). That’s why you work from your hard drives and not the P2 card.

December 1, 2011 at 1:25 pm in reply to: Final Cut Pro Output of 2.5 hour film to make a dvd

Your first step should be look in the FCP, Compressor and DVDSP Manuals. It is located in the Help tab. It gives you step by step instructions.

Since your film is 2.5 hours long, you will need to adjust your bit rate down to 3.0 to 4.0 in Compressor.

[cynthia madansky] “What size and brand dvd should we buy for such a long piece?”
Stick with a name brand DVD-R (Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden). Stick with single layer DVD-R. You will have trouble with a Dual Layer disc.

[cynthia madansky] “How long will it take to compress/ prepare this piece?”
It all depends on your computer. The slower the processor, the longer it will take.

Everyone is on a deadline.

Standard ProRes is the perfect setting. HQ is overkill!

Make sure your Project File and hard drive stay with you at all times. Don’t change any names and you should be fine.
