Hello,
I have just forked out for Final Cut Express as I have found that iMovie '08 doesn't offer the required audio editing (particularly noise reduction from my camcorder) features that I need.
My camera (Canon MD101) records in "true widescreen 16:9". I have two questions:
1. What settings should I use for "Easy Setup"? I have tried DV-PAL and DV-PAL Anamorphic (looks less stretched) (I have set it to PAL as I am in the UK and bought the camera here).
2. When I am previewing the footage to import - when the camera zooms in the film I get loads of funny horizontal lines visible (are these to do with interlacing?). These lines are not visible when I import with iMovie or when I preview the film on the camera itself. They seem visible in zooming and fast action scenes. What are they? How do I get rid of them? Have I got my settings incorrect?
I haven't even started trying to learn how to use FCE yet as I am stumbling at the first hurdle!
Many thanks,
MadDoc
