hi Bernd,
Thank you for this info, as I also had a similar question.
I have been having trouble accessing some footage that a friend shot for me recently on a new HD camera. I have not been able to open it in either QuickTime or FCP. I am working on a new Intel-Mac running OS10.6.4 and FCP7.
Being primarily a 16mm person, all of this digital knowledge is new to me, so bear with me if this is an ignorant question, but how do I access ProRes 422?
Another question I have is about exporting the files once I successfully manage to edit this footage alongside regular SD footage. What is the best setting to use when exporting the files so they retain their HD quality, but can also be viewed on any standard monitor and/or project correctly in non-HD projectors as well as HD?
Thanks for sharing.
~d
enjoy today...
