Q: How Can I do an export that from Final Cut Pro 7 that is specific to these settings?

Hi

 

I am current trying to export out a movie from Final Cut Pro 7 but the settings that are required are very specific and I was going to try it through compressor as well but I wasn't sure if that would work either.

 

Here are the settings:

 

HD:

 

1 Video CODEC                 XDCAMHD50

2 Wrapper format           QuickTime Self-Contained

3 Bit rate                              50 Mbit/s Constant Bit Rate (CBR)

4 GOP                                   Long GOP

                                             Closed GOP

5 Time code                       Must include embedded time code. Start-timecode: 10:00:00:00

6 Movie version               UK Home Video Version

7 Delivery time                 As per contract. Supplier to specify filename, delivery format and estimated time of arrival via email at least 60 days before                                                           transmission unless otherwise specified in contract. This should be accompanied by an IMDB link.

1 HD video format           720 line progressively scanned (720p) @ 50Hz (25 FPS)

                                          1080 line interlace scanned (1080i) @ 50Hz (25 FPS)

2 Resolution                      1280 x 720

                                           1920 x 1080

3 Aspect ratio                    Content should be 16:9, however 4:3 will be accepted on exception (such as for older movies shot in 4:3)

4 Graphics                           Must be within 16:9 safe graphics area (EBU R95-2000)

5 Chroma format              4:2:2

1 HD audio format           24 bits/sample 48 kHz sampling rate

2 Track layout                    Track 1 – 2.0 Stereo L mono

                                            Track 2 – 2.0 Stereo R mono

                                            Track 3 – L

                                            Track 4 – R

                                            Track 5 – C

                                            Track 6 - Low frequency effects LFE

                                            Track 7 – L Surround

                                            Track 8 – R Surround

    First of all, what are your sequence settings?  Looks like they want stereo AND dolby 5.1 audio tracks embedded in the quicktime (I've delivered a few films like this).  Do you have a surround sound mix?  

     

    You will almost always have more options and control in compressor over fcp so that's the way I'd go, but not sure compressor will give you the ability to match these specs. 

     

    Do you understand about safe zones for graphics?  If not, post back.

     

    I don't see any option to set the GOP in xdcam in compressor.  This may be built in to the xdcam format.

     

    I don't see any option for 720 xdcam hd in compressor. 

     

    There are many other tools available for this kind of work, but they may be out of your price range.  You might want to just find a facility with experience in deliverying this sort of thing.
