From the Avid-L2

Final Cut is not Multi Processor enabled.
After Effects as I understand it, allows some effects to distribute the processing if you install the mutli processor plugin.
Can’t speak for the others.
I think you need to research this a bit more before you condemn Avid’s engineers.

You posted this same inflammatory crap on the Avid-L2.
No, they aren’t lazy. There are a bunch of very smart guys there.
If you think writig code is so easy, show us all up by doing it yourself.

I tried that originally, and ended up with a sequence that needs to be rendered.

In thinking this through, I have come up with what I believe is happening here. The DVCPRO HD codec is anamorphically (sic) squeezed from 1280 down to 960 to save space on tape. This we know. Then it is unsqueezed to display. This we also know. My guess is that the codec contains instructions to usnqueeze it for display.
Think about it. Would you want to watch ultra thin people while viewing on your computer? No, of course not. And I’m sure that the various Quicktime players aren’t setup to unsqueeze this codec on display. So you would have to unsqueeze it any time you left FCP.
The end result, I don’t think there is anyway to save a QT file in the DVCPro codec that isn’t unsqueezed outside of FCP.
I guess one inelegant solution would be to next the sequence in a new DVCPRO HD timeline and render it, then you could take the rendered QT movie and move it around.

I did set the custom parameters. I chose DVCPRO HD codec, then set the frame rate for 23.98. then set the custom size to the 960 format and the end result is 1248. Same thing that happened doing it through Quicktime conversion.
Wacky stuff this is. I hope someone else can get a different result somehow.

Okay, tried Compressor, I get the same funky frame size of 1248.

I was afraid QT player would convert it when it saved it out.

Walter,
You are the man!
FCP does indeed change the F’ing frame size even when you use the Kona Preset. We even tried using QT conversion and manually setting the frame size to 960 x 720 and the movie it created was 1248 x 702!!
So, apparently there is no way to export a QT of 720P 23.98 that will be able to play back in FCP in RT with the Kona card.
Puts a real wrinkle in our client’s workflow.
