Stereo 48K is the default and an excellent choice with a frequency response that exceeds normal human hearing. This determines the audio format of the project and the default output format when exporting. 709, unless you have changed your Library settings to support Wide Gamut color. If your project was recorded in ProRes 422 HQ, use that codec. For projects that originate on the computer, for example, my weekly webinars, use ProRes 4444. For projects shot using RAW, Log-C or HDR media, use ProRes 4444. For projects shot with most cameras, ProRes 422 is an excellent choice. This determines the codec used for all render files, and acts as the default setting when sharing a project during export. Change the frame rate, then paste the media back in. Select all media in the timeline and cut it to the clipboard. Changing the frame rate would alter every edit, which is why FCP won’t allow it.
Final Cut actually edits by counting frames, which is why we can change project timecode without damage. Why? Because we can’t change it after media is edited into the timeline. Of all settings, this is the most critical. This determines the frame rate of your project. For the web, progressive formats (indicated by the letter “p”) are best.
However, several formats, such as NTSC SD and 1080i have multiple frame sizes associated with the format. Final Cut can easily edit projects of any frame size, even non-standard, non-broadcast sizes. Custom allows creating non-standard frame sizes. This determines the frame size of the finished project. You can change project timecode at any time with no problems. 01:00:00:00 is normally used for North America broadcast and cable, while 10:00:00:00 is normal for European broadcast and cable. The default ( 00:00:00:00) is fine for the web. This determines the timecode of the project. NOTE: Once you set custom properties, Final Cut will not change project settings, regardless of the clip you edit into the timeline first. This requires more understanding of media formats, but prevents surprises at the end, such as creating a project with the wrong frame size or frame rate. This is a fast and easy way to make sure your project is configured the way you expect.Ĭustom settings allow us to specifically determine the specs of our project, regardless of the first clip we edit into it. You can see what your project specs are by clicking inside the timeline, but not on a clip, to select the timeline pane, then look at the top of the Info Inspector (left red arrow).Īs you can see in the screen shot above, this is a 4K UHD 29.97 fps project (lower red arrow), using the Rec. So it is important to be sure you edit a clip with the correct frame rate as your first timeline clip. However, once media is in the timeline, the frame rate can not be changed. The reason this is important is that if your first clip is not the format you need, you’ll need to change these settings later, which I’ll cover shortly.

Here’s a tutorial on how to consolidate media within a library.Here’s a tutorial on how to change Library Properties.More importantly, I explain what can’t be changed. In this tutorial, I explain what they are, how to set them and how to change them. Project settings, which Apple calls “Project Properties” determine the technical specs of your project.
