Exporting a DVD MPG2 in Fcp 5
Having problems exporting to DVD.
FCP3: was a lot easier exporting: file > export > quicktime > mpeg2 FCP5: file > export > Quicktime conversion > mpeg2 This gives me an error saying "Not Rendered, must be rendered before encoded." Problem is the movie is rendered so I don't know what to do. FCP5 offers another way to export using Compressor utility. I find it complicated and it exports the audio as aiff and dolbe.ac3. I thought FCP3 exported audio as a different file. |

There are good reasons NOT to use QuickTime conversion to do the MPEG-2 for your video. Here is Larry Jordan's explanation of why, along with a recommended way to compress projects out of FCP:

The main reason I had used quicktime conversion because that was the only way i knew and it was convenient. I work in a hand to mouth operation where i only get paid after client sees his completed commercial. The quality of the encode isn't a crucial factor but time is. I discovered I was using too high quality encoding settings in compressor that was making the process of creating a dvd 30 second ad a 20 minute process. I long for the days of VHS where a 30 sec. ad took 30 sec. to create. If I had my wish I'd put a burn button in FCP for easy dvd export. Oh well I just need to modify my process. |
