You can lower the bit rate, but it will effect the quality.

So far, so good. (Wish I could say the same for a few hard drives that decided to sink) I haver personally found the multi cam to be great, though a wee bit flaky. I’ve had audio streams get slightly out of wack with the video during the progression of the sequence, but overall nothing to write home about.

Without making any adjustments and using only the stock settings, the DVD: BEST QUALITY 90 (ALL) is the best I’ve found. I actually adjust the bitrates and dolby compression pending the job, but for sake of ease, go for the 90. That’s just my humble opinion. Chow

It’s been a while since I’ve done this, but yes, it is possible. I don’t have FCP open, but if memory serves me right, highlight all of your markers within a clip. Then Command + U (I think it it within modify–>make subclips or something to that effect. Nevertheless, it can be done quite easily

From what I have gathered, yes, you are on the right track. I personally would find and export my still frame within the movie, split the layer at the frame, and set up my time. (ie 6 seconds between for the still). From Photoshop, I would seperate my subject(s) from the background and place on different layers. From there, reimport the still as a psd composition and work with the layers, changing out the backgrounds, adding text, and doing whatever it is that is wanted. Once through with the image manipulation, start back with your movie. Easy (though a bit time consuming) as pie.

Just outa curiousity, you did set the DVX up in VCR mode? I find myself (seemingly always) forgetting that one little yet crucial detail.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried speeding it up 10-20,000 times or so, fine tuning for our specific results?

They do not automatically install. You will have to pop in your AE 6.5 install disk and install each from the disk itself.

It’s not so much that the codec frustrated us; it is more the fact that we had sent out a few compressed movies to clients and heard back from everyone of them they couldn’t view it and work on it. (they were trying to post the projects on their websites, as well as encode to the formats of their choice) The main problem is that I assumed (and I admit my mistake) that 7 would be backward compatible with 6 without researching. Sometimes you just expect things to work, and get a bit ahead of yourself. Again, my mistake. 😉

While sending a link for the update is dependant on the client, Quicktime has released Quicktime 7 Preview for Windows that will play the H.264 encode. https://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/preview/ We are extremely frustrated that Quicktime would give us software that is not backwards compatible or just recently available to the rest of the world. Makes life fun, right?
