[Mike Schrengohst] "Does 24PN not
work in FCP 5.0.4??"
Not sure about 1080, but it most certainly does at 720p. Looking at my Easy Setups, I don't see a setting for 1080p24, so it may not be supported.
[Mike Schrengohst] "What is the best QT export for people
needing a generic QT for use with any other
editing system??"
There isn't. You cannot capture with FCP and send it to Avid or Premeire or Vegas. Each systems needs to first support the format, and second capture it into formats it works with. There is no generic file. If the system doesn't support DVCPRO HD, it will not work with the footage.
AFAIK.
