I want a copyright and disclaimer clip in my end credits.I need to lay it out in a paragraph and found nowhere in FCPX to do it.I created a 1920x1080 page and typed it in Photoshop.When I moved it to the timeline it was only 38kb and unreadable. How should I be doing this and at what size to...

I need to burn a Bluray from Final Cut Pro X for exhibition screening at a file festival. It appears that I have in Share a file for bluray and one in Compressor.I think they are both .264 codec. Should I stay with these or burn a Pro res 422 from Toast.I am looking for the highest quality...

I am in the process of submitting my film to festivals and the screener needs to be sent online or a dvd. My color is all done by the numbers and I have several "look" affects for color. It looks great on my Mac Retina screen and on my Vizio 1080 monitor.I realize the dvd will only be 720 and I...

Thanks Will, The monitors are new, but I will check the calibration,however whatever I do is going to play differently on any given monitor.I guess I was more interested in whether or not the profile is suitable for projection in a theatre.I do use the scopes and try to use a combination of...

I have a Macbook Pro Retina and the setting is optimized for LCD Retina display. I am color grading on a Vizio 1080 monitor. Should I leave the profile as is or change to Adobe RGB on the Retina. I did run the timeline on a friend's 46 in monitor and it looked ok. My main purpose is for Film...

Should I be editing in Adobe color space or my LCD Retina screen space.I would normally use srgb if I were doing stills that I shot in srgb. I shot movie the project in the Adobe space.

How do I export sound files from the timeline in FCPX for post work by a sound person? The original import were wav files.

Looks the same running from timeline too.

Recently completed a 24 min short.D7000 1080 24fps.Here's the problem: I have the edit,color correction and color grading done.Playback saturation and contrast from the timeline look great on Macbook Pro and Vimeo. I use the Macbook as a still photographer so my calibration is very close to my...

I have a couple of clips in Final Cut X where I shot the actor on the wrong side of the 180.Is it possible to flip the clip to put him on the other side of the frame?

I rented a backup D7000 and was given two 16g high quality Hoodman Steel cards.I probably used in my camera and the rental also.
