I recorded this on a 2006 MacPro (1,1), 13GB of Ram. Radeon 5770, 10.6.8. The stock footage is 1080p Photo Jpeg format. My events and project drive is a OWC eSATA 8TB RAID (about 150MB/sec).

Hi
I would like to know which mac you are working on. It looks really fluent, so what machine is it?
Great Tutorial, I can really use it to create a 1998x1080 timeline for digital cinema, great and thank you. Apple should implement this immediately in the box 'custom resolution'.
best regards from Zürich | | | | |

Thanks Steve.
Of course I completely agree. I thought at first that it was a technical issue and Apple restricted resolutions, but I was pleasantly surprised that after testing every odd format I could think of (12000x480 for example), that is not the case. In fact FCP X can support anything that Motion can do.
It is very apparent that the FCP team needs to scrub the app with a fine tooth comb--with FCP 7 or other NLE in one hand and FCP X in another--to ensure editors have the capabilities we need ( a pixel aspect ration setting for clips is another glaring example).
On another positive note as I was preparing this tutorial I saw that on my setup FCP 7 can't play any non-broadcast resolution sequence without rendering. So a project like the vertically mounted 720 display would have been a horrendous task in FCP 7. FCP X has some serious power and flexibility under the hood. We just need the controls to take advantage of it.

T Payton, this is a great tutorial. I've had several people write me about how to do this. I only wish Apple would just give us a custom setting so we would have to go through this ridiculous workflow. | | | | |

Nice work, T Payton.
I'd like it thrice if I could. | | | | |

Raising The Bar On Non-Broadcast Output: Mastering and Encoding with Video Purifier and x264
Consider this: you’re taking your pristine, carefully crafted video file--the product of countless hours of work--and running it through a process that will literally throw away up to 90% of the information! In this tutorial, David shares a simple workflow he uses to prepare finished video files for non-broadcast delivery. Using these tools and settings, he's able to create master files that look better than their edited source, and encoded files that are virtually indistinguishable from their masters.
