David, as I am setting up my FCP timeline, I set my audio/video settings to the ProRes 1080p 30, but my sequence keeps defaulting the aspect ratio to HDTV 1080i (I don’t see an option for my size so I selected custom and put in 1920×1080). What am I missing here? -T
Thank you so much David. I really can’t believe what an amazing resource Creative Cow is..I’ve just spent the last hour watching some fun tutorials as well.
Editing on an IMac 2.8 GHz, Intel Core 2, 4 GB memory -graphics card NVIDIA GEForce 8800 with a monitor res of 1920×1200. FCP version 6.0.5 with external LaCie drives -800 firewire. Did I forget anything?
Hi Dave,
Wow -thanks. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. You hit the nail right on the head -the client’s expectations far exceed their budget. This started as just a small web video for a friend of a friend. I guess you could say no good deed goes unpunished 😉
Thanks again for your thorough and very informative reply.
Thanks Russ -that makes sense! Now, do you know how I can edit something in 6.0 on a timeline and then give it to an editor using 5.0 and still have it work?
