Just started to edit a documentary I been shooting and I got some problems and some questions.

Im using Fcp6 and I captured my 24F material from my XH-A1 using 1080p24.

Anyway when I have like 30 tapes of material I like to cut it down and get rid of all the stuff I dont need. So I been editing the material down and now I want to put it back on tape again. Here I have problems.

I have 1 hour of material that I want to output on a minidv using the xh-a1 in vcr mode. When I use print to video it works fine but after 13 minutes of material the camera stop getting signal or something (no video just blue). Anyone have an idea what to do. I got a fast seagate 500gig external HD and its nothing wrong with the cords. Loads of clips though.

I also want to store this one hour material as an video file on my computer without loosing any quality (for storage). Should I just make an self contained quicktime with current setting (it doesnt lose any quality that way right?) or should I use the prores 422 or something else?

Thanks :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)
 
Export to QT current settings- but you already have it as part of your project. Better to back up the original media for flexibility. Drives are cheap, footage is often priceless- etc.
