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.

Try to edit in FCPX 24 min of footage.I am on a Macbook Pro 4g ram 2.4 gh duo core. I have slowed to a crawl.Checked with Apple and they suggested working from optimzed files rather than proxy.I imported all in originally in optimized media. Thinking I need an upgrade.Anyone on new mac mini or...

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. I captured all the scenes on the cards and they playback on the camera.I was able to download all cards but one.It won't show up on screen with card reader or transfer...

I want to shoot a gloomy funeral scene with black umbrellas.It will be overcast on shoot day,but no rain. Can I make the scene(in post and color grading) appear more somber so it looks more realistic?How would you shoot it?

lav and boom Sonnyboo, What about a lav on one channel and boom on the other.Is this done?Also it was suggested I use BWF rather than wav.I had no problem with wav. in Final Cut X so I suppose BWF is as compatible?

bwf Thanks for the info,since I don't have a pro in my budget I am trying to learn for my first project. I have the Tascam now set for testing. BWF 24bit sample rate 96khz low cut at 40hz. Will use an Audio Technica 897 on boom and for a few dialogue scenes two wireless lavs(rental) Is there...

I want to record externally with a Tascam D40 with a shotgun and on occasion two wireless lavs. What would the recommended compression setting be? I am at 48,000mhz. currently.I think the camera sound compression is the same.Not sure if they need to be the same for syncing.But a suggestion for...

wealth You guys are a wealth of knowledge! Thanks so much.

iso So if I shoot at f11 at 6 ft. constant and my exposure indoors is say f2 @ iso320 50th sec constant,won't bumping up to say iso 1250 reduce quality seriously.I may be getting anal about high iso but my background is large format and low iso for best quality.What do you do in this scenario?
