Hi there i created a movie using my Panasonic HVX-200 and a clip that is a minute turns out to be almost a 1gb file. When i pull this file into After Effects I render the files with effects then transfer them into FCP 5. I have to re-render them when putting them into the timeline in FCP. The FCP rendering is taking up to an hour and a half to complete a 1 minute clip ?!?!?!?? The clips are still at their 1 gb total but this is just outrageous for how long this program wants me to wait... on top of this every time that i drag the clip on the timeline it tells me that the file is un-rendered and i have to re-render it .... again!
Any help I can get real quick would be great, I need to finish this project!!!!
Thank you ,
Kamal

Thank you for your response Shane
I am actually going into file > export > quick time movie and i export it as that?
How would I export it as a DVCPRO HD ?

Quicktime is a container...there are DOZENS of codecs that can be in that QT container. After Effects defaults to the ANIMATION codec. You have to go into the OPTIONS when you export and change it to DVCPRO HD.

I'm running Final Cut Pro 5
And i'm using AE CS4
I just looked into the FCP 5 and i see the DVCPRO HD conversion
But i do not see it when i try to export within After Effects

[Kamal Bayy]"does anyone know how to solve this????"
A lot of people on this forum do this all the time. It's not that hard, but to tell you how to do it in a forum post is a bit like writing a novella. Besides, the specific information you need is in the tutorials & help files that come with FCP and AE.

You don't export from the file menu with AE, you use the render queue.
The render queue allows you to use any codec installed on your Mac. DVCPro HD should be listed there.
Consult the AE docs on how to queue a comp and how to find & use the various controls & features of the queue.

As John points, the codec must be installed otherwise you couldn't read neither export DVCProHD.
It sounds more an AE issue. trash the AE preferences.
You should also see which kind of codec you are using with FC. A one minute DVCProHD file it can not take 1 GB.
Pic the papers and read a bit about workflow, codecs, exports,..
