Re: Apple article on Optimizing Media

As you can probably tell from my use of a pixelvision camera, clarity of image isn't nessisarily my first concern. Often I find shooting with the various camera gives me a certain feel (I also love to shoot with a JVC VHS camcorder because of its wonderfully smeary look).

My main concern is that the audio and other things in the timeline don't go wildly out of synch or output in crazy ways. By the by, I always convert to 30fps.

It just kind of bugs me that FCPX makes these decisions on compression for me. But it really isn't tha big of a deal, because I often rely on different apps to give me what I want (like Quicktime Pro and Compressor) before I use certain footage in FCP7.
