Student in need of some assistance
I am an editing student about to tackle HD for the first time. The film was originally shot on Super 16, then transferred to HDCAM as well as DVCAM. I plan to use the DVCAM to capture my footage and edit. I will then do an online capture of my final timeline using the HDCAM tape. Ultimately, it will be transferred back to HDCAM and mastered onto a DVD.
My question is how would I initially set up the project as far as choosing 24p, 23.976 NTSC, Matchback, etc? How can I ensure a smooth transition into ProTools for audio work? Lastly, I may be adding some visual effects using After Effects and/or Maya. What’s the best way to juggle footage between the programs without wasting too much time?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That’s one hell of a project you are tackling there, especially for a student. Not easy for any editor. It’s beyond my experience but I can tell you that since you won’t be going back to film, you don’t need to worry about Matchback. Whoever answers your question will probably need more info regarding the pulldown rate in the telescine transfer. What frame rate was it recored onto the HDCAM & DVCAM? Try to use a workflow where you stay with the same frame rate so no conversion is necessary. That’s all I’ve got. May the force be with you.
