There are some confusing settings in the apple intermediate codec export settings.

ALWAYS use 'other' - bottom of export settings.

dont use HDV 1080p/i settings
These dont work well at all, and are there to fake up the hdv scaling from 1440x1080 to 1920x1080.

Hi,

I can vouch for the importance of these settings - I exported some files from Final Cut Pro inadvertently with one of the HD presets selected and the results were bizzare.

The material in the video file was shrunk to a small size and appeared in the top left corner of the image, the rest of the frame was filled with a random colour. I traced the trouble to the AIC export settings, but thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else is troubleshooting weird shrinking movies, or unwanted psychadelic colours...

Best

Tim

Hi Tim

I thought all of your movies are weird, shrinking with psychadelic colours - man!
