Simple FCP question about desktop preview
Does anyone the exact meaning of the video playback options in Audio/Video Settings in FCP i.e. Digital Cinema Desktop Preview, Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Raw, Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Full Screen etc. I use Full Screen but raw is a strange size and different (better?) quality. What is the best to use for an accurate representation (I use an external HD monitor)?
Cheers all, Geoff |

Raw is actually not an odd size, it is the full frame size (whatever that might be, NTSC SD, HD, etc.) and thus not stretched, so you retain full quality. I would output to Raw if you have a 1080 monitor and 1080 footage.

Digital Desktop Preview: Will put your timeline on your preview monitor through your graphics card Digital Desktop Preview - RAW : Will shot your edits, but using the raw footage (sans filters, motion tab changes, down resing or up ressing shots, etc.) Digital Desktop Main: Same as preview but will go out your main display, not your secondary monitor. Digital Desktop Main - RAW: Again, same as above, but on your main monitor. The other options all go out your firewire, or io. |

Thanks Edward and Louis for your responses. I'm clearer now though I do find that the 'raw' output does include filters and motion effects.
Apologies for the double posting - it was due to sheer incompetence (and the seeming inability on the forum to able to delete a post). |

Mod note: both threads have been merged here. If you run into any other issues such as the inability to delete a thread, just click on the little exclamation point icon in the bottom left of your post and leave us a note. That will send a notice to all the moderators and should get a relatively quick response.
