Can I use these movies in FinalCutPro — in the Quicktime format?
You can Re-encode Mpeg2 movies to quicktime for FinalCut Pro using Cleaner5.0.2 using the following settings. There is no de-interlacing, so you don’t lose anything. The files increase in size 10 fold, so make sure you have enough HD space. This procedure gives you quicktime movies suitable for use with final cut. Cleaner 5 — if you don’t have 5.0.2, you can download.0.2 from the terran.com site. – output > quicktime, .mov – tracks > process everything – image > image size constrain to 720*480, display size normal, do not deinterlace, field dominance-SHIFT DOWN – encode > apple DV-ntsc codec, millions of colors, spatial quality 100%, frame rate, same as source – Audio > we’re still not sure about which is best. start with mono, 48kb, experiment. Some have had good results with their decoder cards. compare a few films done both ways on a good monitor with scopes and see which method is best.
