Need some help for a novice...
Post production on Mac Pro, FCP 5.1.4. I have the Nattress plug-ins installed.
I'm shooting on a Sony HVR-A1 at 1080i60 (it has no true 24p). I'd like to have the final cut in 1080p24 footage.
questions:
1) When I first installed FCP 5.1 there was no option under Export as Quicktime' for 1080p24 (only 720p24)... it seems after an update to 5.1.4 the option is now present (is this correct?).
I have successfully done a final rendering/export which seems to be 16:9 deinterlaced 24fps at x1080. Question here... what is the point of Nattress, Magic Bullet etc if FCP has this option now? Moreover, at one point I rendered using Nattress to 24p, then selected the Export to 1080p24…. The output film flickered and flashed violently between colors… obviously some major goof on my part. Any idea what was going on there?
2) For web streaming… I just cannot duplicate the workflow for 24p AND widescreen 16:9 AND a manageable size (4.5 minute short < 100Mb)… how can this be accomplished?
Thank you.
