[MacDV] Re: Print to Video [update]

This helps me with an issue I was experiencing recently but wasn't able to 
sort it out.

Could someone help me with the following process and steer me in the right 
direction?

=====================================
To make a photo slideshow in FCPro I dragged all my pics in (TIFFs saved 
at 720x576/PAL) and laid them out in the timeline, fitting to audio.

Created a cross fade between slide 1 and 2 and copied it. Then pasted it 
between all other slides. (perhaps there was a quicker way).

Saved as QuickTime PhotoJPEG movie. This was because I just simply 
couldn't get full resolution pictures saving it as a FCMovie.

But as per this thread, when I tried to print to my tape I just got the 
audio and a black screen.
=====================================

So, I'll try resaving the QT PhotoJPEG movie as DV (hopefully keeping the 
resolution clean) and try print to movie again.

I emailed this group a few months ago with a question about DVD Studio 
Pro's slideshows giving poor resolution results and what best size to save 
images at (if resaving is recommended at all) but I received no replies. 
This is why I turned to FCPro to create the slideshow.

Your comments are most appreciated.

Cheers,

Coj

Jill, you've kind of screwed it up by using the MotionJpegA codec.

Create a new Sequence. Then use CMD-Zero to check the sequence settings.
Make sure the codec used is DV-NTSC, NOT MotionJPEG.
Now place all your clips into this sequence. Save.
You should be able to use Print to Video.
If you need to see screenshots, email me off list.
