Greetings everyone,
I hope someone can help me out for i am not sure how to processed next
I have a SONY DCR-SR80 HDD video camera that records in MPEG2 Muxed at an odd resolution of 720 x 404
Compressor was a no go so by googling I found this free app. named MPEG STREAMCLIP from Squared 5 ... now the problem is that I don't know what is the best way (quality wise) to convert so I can take and edit in FCP ?
for example should I :
1. export as a .MOV, MPEG4 or AVI, DV, etc...?
2. What compression to use;
H264, DV codec or the Apple Intermediate Codec ?
3. What Frame Size should I use
I tried selecting 720 x 480 and the picture was stretched horizontally
the one that worked was 854 x 480.. but its an odd size, will FCP work with it or should I just let it be at 720 x 404 ?
4. should I De-interlace the Video in MPEG Streamclip or wait till FCP ?
5. In FCP in Easy Setup.....what format should I choose
DV-NTSC Anamorphic for ex...?
Thank you for taking the time
