Re: [FCP-L] OT Compressor Strip CC

Thanks for the details Kerry. It is all HD. A show I am now working
on uses flattened air masters files for look back elements of previous
shows. They come with the captioning that makes for longer renders
when outputting the new master. I have to recompress all frames to
remove the captioning in each episode.

Maybe I'll just grab the terrabyte of files and batch export them all
over the turkey day holiday from fcp.

Thanks,
Andy Edwards
