Final Cut Pro Express question - GoFuckYourself.com

FightThisPatent · 02-03-2010, 03:01 PM

i have an HD camera, and i would prefer to mount it on my tripod, and rotate it 90 degrees so that the video is tall (when viewed on playback, video would look sideways).

i need the height, and can't get it by zooming in.

if i shoot the video sideways, can i load it into FCP such that i create a non-standard size like 200x500 and then rotate/resize the video so that it was this size?

on export to like .FLV, would the players be able to playback a non-standard size?

Your final player can be whatever dimensions you want. You're fine.

i just got FCP express, so i need to go to the library to get the "missing manual".

the interface isn't as intuitive as image programs.

i was looking to start new project, set the H=200 W=500

then load up the clip. rotate the video. scale/crop to the output size. edit the video, then render.

if FCP can do the above, then i can go shoot my video and then figure it out later (or can follow any posted pointers).

Fight the vid editing newb!

w = 200
H = 500
