Hi,
Back after a long time. Working for the first time with HD.
Have shot on Canon 305 and Sony PMW200 and also some HDV on the Z1.
Converted all footage with sequence setting of Apple ProRes 1920/1080 422(HQ)
and have edited without any glitch on my one year old IMac 27" 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 with
16GB MHz DDR3 and OS 10.8.5 and FCP 7.
Now have a finished 52 min film. When I try to Export it as self contained file with
Apple ProRes 422 1920/1080 or with current settings, I end up getting 22 files each of
2.05 GB and one finished film of 2.05 GB. The individual files say QuickTime Files 2.05 GB on Disk with Name and Extension Film-av1
open with Real Player - but Real Player does not open it nor does VLC2.
Funnily my producer also wanted all my footage also in the same format, so when I exported the footage,
it went through very smoothly - with the same above settings. But the final film just does not go.
I'm stuck as my producer insists on final film on Hard Drive
with Apple ProRes 1920/1080 422 50i 48 Hz
What could possibly be going wrong ?
Very much obliged for a response. Not many editors around me in Delhi have done too much work
on HD outputting - so can't really resolve this issue woithntheir help.
Thanks,
Pankaj
