Is this a single one minute clip, or are there cuts in it?

All the best,

If it’s self-contained it’s not likely to fit on a CD unless the movie is quite short. A self-contained file should play on any Mac that supports DV media.

It’s not the amount of still images in a project, but the stills that need to be loaded for an open sequence. This is very much dependent on the size of the image file. Different formats have different sizes for the same image. TIFF files seem to be very large. Multilayer PSD files can be very large. PNGs and PICTs seem to be quite a bit smaller.

All the best,

Tom

The project file may have gotten corrupted, or one of the image files.

Start by trashing your preferences. Then launch the application, not the project, and see if it opens. In System Settings go to Memory and Cache and push up the still image allocation a bit. If you’re working with lots of very large images you might have to push it up a lot. Hopefully you have enough RAM. Then see if you can open the project from inside FCE.

All the best,

Tom

You want HDV – Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50.

You do realize there is no HD DVD available? Your end product will not be HD only SD compressed to MPEG-2.

You will also need some software like iDVD to author your DVD. There are problems doing widescreen material, which this is, in iDVD.

All the best,

Save each layer as a separate PSD file and import them into FCP. That’s the only solution you have.

Make sure it was made on a Mac and that you’re not using 16-bit.

Since last year the only ones that get into the keynote are completely mesmerized by the huge quantities of KoolAid they’re been given. Unless you’ve drunk deeply of the fountain you’re not going to get in. Even the press is only the completely tame press like Walt Mossberg.
