I'm trying to take Snapz movies to FCP for editing. Does anyone have suggestions for the best settings in Snapz and/or FinalCut Pro?
Currently, my movies do not display from the timeline to the canvas window without rendering. I'm looking for some combination of settings (Snapz and FCP) that will let FCP see the Snapz produced .mov files without needing to render them for replay. I'm trying to use a capture window size of at least 720x480.
TIA for any hints you might have!
Full Version: Snapz movies to FinalCut Pro
From my experience, try saving the movie as in none (no compression) or PNG.
If you want to capture such a large screensize, you might want to reduce the fps and reduce the colour usage, and you need a fast Mac and lots of RAM. If possible, try to save the movie at half of the dimension.

Thanks for the response.
I'm not capturing movies.
Really just wanting to know when or if Snapz plans to develop/release the features I mentioned.
Anyone?
David?
Oh, crap. Please ignore my post and apologies. LOL.
Wrong thread.

The native format for Final Cut Pro is DV. Select the DV/DVCPRO (NTSC for U.S./Japan, PAL for Europe) codec when you're saving the file from Snapz Pro X. This will provide you with "real-time" ready Final Cut Pro files for the Timeline.

I did try this twice. It seems that SnapzProX saves the file as a .mov file. I would think it would be saved as a .dv file. When I bring it into the FCP it still has to be rendered before it will play. I am in the middle of rendering my test segment or I would try the none compression.
