[MacDV] Re type for FCP HD 4.5

[Mark M. Florida]

What's all this talk about the Targa format?  If the final thing is going
out to TIFF anyway, just use TIFFs.  Are you rendering the dissolves
yourself for the TIFF output?  Or just supplying the TIFFs as stills to the
HD place doing the film output?  You might be able to do that...  Although
with the money you'd pay them to do it you could probably buy yourself a
copy of After Effects and you could render it yourself...

Or if you have Final Cut Pro (any version, I believe) you could make a
custom project at the full resolution you're outputting to and use FCP to
render the titles...
