Re: Desparate - Two problems using FCP to Compressor to DVDSP

Hi again,

Thank you very much to everyone first of all for the help - it is much appreciated:

Jeremy - the footage was P2 card based from Panasonic. The HD titles created in Illustrator were created in a 'Film' artboard at the DVCPRO HD 1080 setting. This is rectangle pixels. The pixels in the Illustrator docs. are native 1920x1080. Those were then sent out as .PNGs into Illustrator where they were placed and rendered out as QTs to match the sequence settings in FCP. I have tried compression markers on both troublesome areas.

David - that ProRes 4:4:4:4 re-render is a good idea - I will give it a try. You are correct in that they are DVCPRO HDs out of Motion and that they are predominantly RED - haha. However, they do appear solid and fine when an HD QT is rendered out of FCP so would the ProRes solve anything if the problem is Compressor's ability to downscale the titles well? I guess I will see.... Would it be better just to throw the RAW Illustrator files in over slug in FCP in place of the QTs that were rendered out of motion?


On the pulsing: So, would it be agreed to go with a One Pass VBR best setting in compressor given the pulsing problems with the two pass VBR and that a solid CBR will not fit onto the DVD at 90 mins. setting? The one pass does eliminate the problem, but what would your recommended bitrates be for the one pass?

THANKS!
Tim
