Setting Up
Launch Final Cut Pro HD™
1. The Easy Setup window will appear.
2. Click on the popup menu named “Setup for” and select a relevant
Blackmagic Easy Setup. For each TV format (NTSC, PAL and HDTV)
you will nd a range of compressed and uncompressed le formats you
can choose. For example, if you are working in NTSC format, you could
choose one of the following Easy Setups:
Blackmagic NTSC - 10 Bit
Blackmagic NTSC - 8 Bit
Blackmagic NTSC - DV
Blackmagic NTSC - DV50
Blackmagic NTSC - JPEG.
Which Easy Setup you choose will be dictated partly by the speed of
your disk array and partly by whether you already have any movie clips
in a particular format. If you have a fast disk array, you can choose a 10
Bit format and the quality will be stunning. If you only have a single disk
for storage, you could choose either DV or JPEG. JPEG often looks
better but unfortunately Apple have not yet implemented RT Effects
with JPEG. If you need to add RT Effects, then DV would be a better
choice.
3. Click on the popup menu named “Primary Scratch Disk” and select
your disk array from the popup menu. Then click OK.
4. Final Cut Pro HD will appear.
