There’s a helpful section in the FCP manual which will take you through the process for both PAL & NTSC standards.

Sounds like you might have the DV downconvert option in the camera turned on. Check your camera is set to HDV over firewire in the settings.

We’re using Sorenson Squeeze with the flip4mac Pro Studio plugin. Works great although at the moment Squeeze 4.3 isn’t working with flip4mac V2, so you ‘re probably best bypassing squeeze for now and just using the standalone flip4mac. I think it can be set up to work from compressor if you need batching.

Hi there,
We had a shoot with 3 firestores on 3 seperate angles that we put together using the multiclip finction. I must say though that we had some timecode problems sometimes the firestore timecode could be a few seconds outside of the timecode on the tape.
Our best workflow was actually to use a good old clapperboard and time of day timecode to give us a sync point that all the cameras recorded. Then in multiclip we set each clips in-point to the clapper and synced timecode from there. Any gaps appeared in the multiclip as black.

Hi there,
I realise that my sequence as it stands doesn’t use any HDV footage, but I thought that if I redigitised at HDV and then used the HDV sequence to create my 10bit timeline I would get better quality. Is this not the case?
Thanks,

If you really need transitions and the powerpoint doesn’t have too many slides you could always create your DVD as one with lots of menus. Instead of thinking of each powerpoint slide as a still, or as a movie clip make each slide a seperate menu.
Just make the background of each menu the slide you want to show, and then make a button linking to the next slide. (make the button invisible obviously) You can make the links jump to transition moves to keep the transitions you want or even create transitions that crappy old powerpoint can’t do.
The enter button would skip to the next slide – but there would be no way to ever go back one slide.
How’s this sound?

[Fletch] ” I am trying to import the footage as Uncompressed 8bit (4:2:2).”
Without a decent RAID there’s no way you’re going to get 8bit uncompressed to play properly over a standard firewire drive. Could be part of your problem right there…

Have you tried removing the filter entirely? If the clip looks OK with the filter on then leave it on. If the clip looks OK with it off then leave it off…?

There is a shift fields filter… It is in the video filters > Video Menu.
It’s options are:
+1
none
-1And it effect is basically to swop field orders around. Final cut seems to automatically apply it to any clip that you add to a sequence with a different field order.
So I I add a DV PAL clip (lower field first) to a 8bit Uncompressed sequence (upper filed first) FCP adds the filter with a -1 setting to make the fields match. Or at least that’s how it seems to work here!
