Problems making reference compressions

[Marcel André Morin]

Hello all,
I've got a couple interview clips, shot in 4k that i'm trying to make viewable for my client. I've got the clips saved locally and i'm trying to make mpegs through Sorenson Squeeze and H264's through Compressor and they all seem to either quit or fail on me. Just wondering if you guys have any suggestions.

thanks

Use Clipfinder with a quarter resolution debayer setting; it's reasonably quick. Processing from the raw files rather than the QuickTime proxies tends to give you better looking results as well, and gives you a chance to do a quick one-light grade if you're so inclined.

Problem. I have several hours of interview footage. I shot in 3K, dragged the _M proxies into Final Cut, and used Video Filter to add timecode burn in to the footage. I choose clips and send to Compressor to make mpeg-2 for DVD. Some clips have worked fine. A couple of the longer ones keep failing. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Julio
