I was consulting with a new client today that has been editing a show on FCP
7 having captured the video as 10 bit uncompressed. Their system and drives
are far too slow to edit uncompressed video, especially 10 bit, so I advised
them to start working at DV 50. I opened Media Manager and set it to
recompress the files to a new drive and create a new project when a window
popped up asking whether I wanted to keep the original pixel aspect ratio
and frame size or not. I cannot recall ever getting a message like then when
working on FCP 5 (where I have done a lot of media management) or FCP 6
where, frankly, I can't recall whether or not I ever used the Media Manager.
This was my first experience with FCP 7.
What are the ramifications of each answer? If I answer "yes", will it
actually create a project where the compression is DV50 but with a frame
size of 720 x 486? I didn't think that DV codecs would work properly at that
image size. If I answer "no", is it going to simply scale the image to 480
pixels and recompress the media? Is there a way to get it to crop the six
lines of video instead of compressing the whole thing?
Thanks,
Kerry
