Re: specs for delivery of Quicktime files - 13 years agoHi John, I thought the same thing and told the producer that the people sending the footage don't know what they are doing! I've never run into this question nor has it ever been a problem. The footage, I found out last night, is mostly music videos coming from different record labels or people representing recording artist. One person, when asked for a broadcast quality Quicktime file, seby Lisha - Café LA Re: specs for delivery of Quicktime files - 13 years agoThanks Jeff! Should I tell them 25 or 50 megabits? Any input on the people who have Quicktime files that are HD?

The files are being delivered to me from different sources.by Lisha - Café LA Re: specs for delivery of Quicktime files - 13 years agoHi Strypes, The people sending me the Quicktime files are asking me what format should they send. When I said "DV/NTSC OR DVCpro 50, 720 x 480" I was told that was not enough information. What bit rate should they use? Any other specifications I should provide? As for the HD files that are Quicktime, again someone asked what format should they send? I said just send the file and tby Lisha - Café LA specs for delivery of Quicktime files - 13 years agoHello to all, I am doing a SD project for television broadcast.

LOL! You mean I should've added to my initial post from almost 2 years ago? I did find some plug-ins.

Peace, Lishaby Lisha - Café LA plugins for photos to move vertically or flip down - 14 years agoHello to all, I need to get creative with some photos. I've used Coverflux (http://idustrialrevolution.com/component/option,com_sobi2/sobi2Task,sobi2Details/catid,2/sobi2Id,19/) with great success.

"Okay...throwing out a question now to FCP 6 experts: I'm trying to compress on FCP 6 from NTSC to PAL using Compressor. My first try gave me a squeezed (4:3) look instead of the 16:9 we shot in. I can't find any pull-downs in Compressor to maintain the correct ratio. It seems to be just a "one-click" deal in the settings (automatic), so I was surprisedby Lisha - Compressor - Media Compression and Conversion Re: closed captioning on MiniDV - 14 years agoThanks Jeff! Since I am receiving the commercials from the ad agencies on DVCam / miniDV is there a way to maintain the Closed Captioning?by Lisha - Café LA Re: closed captioning on MiniDV - 14 years agoSorry. When I capture the commercials from the miniDV or DVCam tapes is the closed captioning automatically captured? Once I drop the commercials into my timeline and layback the entire show w/ commercials included to a DVCam, will the closed captioning for the commercials still be on the commercials? If I sound confused, it's because I am.by Lisha - Café LA closed captioning on MiniDV - 14 years agoHello to all, I'm editing commercials into a TV show. In the past we've had the post house do this. Some of the commercials are on miniDV, others on DVCam. The slates all say CC. How can I use the CC? Once I've finished the editorial I layback to DVCam and deliver to a post house for CC of the program and satellite delivery. As always, thanks in advance.

It sounds distorted when playing it from the deck.by Lisha - Café LA Audio is clipped - 14 years agoHello to all, I am editing a short film. The audio is clipped on some of the takes. The audio guy is saying that it must be the way I "put it into the system". Is that possible? I used a DSR-11 to capture the footage from miniDV and DVCam tapes. As always, thank in advance!

The clips were captured anamorphic. When I drop the clips into the timeline the clips do not show on my broadcast monitor as 16x9. They look 4x3.

The play head in the timeline does not move while I'm playing a sequence or the video will not show in the viewer when I double click on a clip. I have to shut down other apps and restart FCP. Once I restart FCP, everything works fine up to a point.
