DVL-Digest 1203 - Postings: Index PC capturing to MAC editing Quick time playback of MPEG odd problem PC capturing to MAC editing - "Valerie Shoaps" Hi George, There are two options I can think of. One would be to do your logging in Premiere and then export a batch list. Open the batch list in FCP and capture the media there. To do this though, you'll have to open the batch list in a text editor or Excel before importing to FCP. You'll have to add a record at the top of the file to correspond exactly to FCP's list setup. IOW, you'll need the headers: In, Out, Name, Take, Reel and Comments. The other and easy(er) way; capture dv .avi's in Premiere (this only applies to a dv based project). Then use a dv file converter to rewrite the headers to QT .mov's (such as Advanced DV File Converter http://members.chello.hu/mezei.attila/dvtools/) and then import them into FCP. I've done the second way myself. Valerie >I need to capture footage at work (using premiere / rt2000 / win 2000) >and want to edit it in FCP. > >Can anyone advise me on the best of doing this?

We've just digitised a load of stuff to MPEG-1 from Digitbeta (625 line 25fps 4:3) and found to our horror that whilst it plays back fine in Media player and Real player, in a Quicktime viewer (5 & 6) it gets converted from its correct 4:3 format to 16:9 widescreen for no apparent reason. This makes it unusable in the end product. The only differences we can find between this and previous files- which did run OK from Quicktime- are that the digitising rate was increased slightly from 2929 to 2992 Kbpsec (2929 equates to 3Meg) but it would seem bizarre for Quicktime to recognise certain bitrates as 4:3 and automatically treat the rest as widescreen. We also went to I-frame encoding and we increased the sound bit rate slightly but these seem even less likely to be the cause and from an earlier problem I had producing a CD about six months ago I think the bitrate is the cause. Is this is a known bug in Quicktime when playing MPEGs and does anyone understand what Quicktime does when it converts an MPEG file (it appears, even when it is happy with 4:3, to convert the picture size from 352 x 288 to 320 x 240)? I'd rather not have to redigitise everything so is there a way of forcing quicktime to play our MPEGs properly?
