Question

FCP 6 and Maxon Cinema 4D

Are they compatible? I am using lot of photoshop and illustrator and this Cinema 4D looks like a really
nice 3D program. But is it compatible with FCP 6? Someone said that it is with FCP 5...

Mac Pro 3GHz 8 Core,8Gb, ATI X1900, HD Cinema Display 30", Black MacBook 2,2GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Are they compatible in what way?

Because if you can export/output/render an animation sequence to QT, then there isn't an issue.

I been using Electric Image for fifteen years, and it could always export to various QT codecs.

Nothing suggests that is any different for C4D

This page:

indicates it supports any broadcast or film resolution.

Thanks!

I capture and edit in HDV and send the output to Compressor to DVD Pro.
I guess I meant to ask if it works with HD material..

It says film resolution and HDV doesn't approach that.

I did 4K with EIAS years ago so C4D should easily support that
