Hello,
Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated!
I have a 1920x1080 30p (Compressor: XDCAM EX) sequence that I need to convert into a SD DVD! Exporting the sequence using Apple ProRes 422 1920x1080 30p and using compressor to compress into DVD format makes the video look worse than if it were shot in SD DV.
Someone suggested that I copy the 1920x1080 timeline to a 720x480 anamorphic 16:9 timeline. Render. Export. Compress. It works well but takes a huge amount of time for a 47 min video and an enormous amount of disk space.
Another editor suggested that I use my SONY HDV/DVCAM 1080i deck to convert the footage to HDV (1440 x 1080 60i) and then recapture into a 720x480 anamorphic timeline (to save time and disk space). However, I can't get to "Print to Tape". It gives me the error that
"Sequence is not compatible with Print to Video". "Edit to Tape" also gives a sequence not compatible error.
I am on:
Mac OX 10.6.8
3.06 Intel Dual Core
4GB RAM
Final Cut Studio 2.0 (FCP Version 7.0)
Here are my FCP A/V settings:
