That's my understanding of how FCP 6 does its thing. It's not the way FCP 5 and earlier work. -gb- |

My original question really had to do with what happens when you are finished editing. Assuming you setup your timeline as I said, when you go to export your final master do you "Use Current Settings" or export as "ProRes 422 1440x1080 HQ" for the cleanest final? I did both and see no difference other than the ProRes file is over 4 times larger than the "Using Current Settings" XDCam HD file. |

It really depends on how you intend to store your final output. If it's going back to an XDCAM disc then I would export XDCAM HD. Otherwise I would export as ProRes. The file is bigger but if you then decide to use that clip in another show, that is then saved out to ProRes and then that gets used in another show.... and so on.... at least by always saving as ProRes the material will standup better over multiple generations. If you are sure you will always be working in the XDCAM HD codec then there is little to be gained by saving as ProRes.
