  HDV workflow – DVCPro HD or Apple Intermediate Codec

  Posted by Pasi123456789 on March 4, 2006 at 12:46 pm

  Hi all!

  I’m thinking about a workflow where one digitizes and edits as DVCPro HD (1080i50) and then doing the online in Uncompressed 10 bit (SD, the show is going to be mastered on SD anyway). Going uncompressed HD is not an option because of budget concerns.

  I’ve been looking for a comparison of JVC’s DVCPro HD codec and Apple’s Intermediate Codec and haven’t been able to find one. Anyone got experience on going from HDV to a I-frame based format for editing? I know for sure that my decklink card can playback DVCPro HD but I don’t know about the Apple Intermediate Codec.

  I seem to recollect that someone qouted Nattress saying that if you edit in HDV and then bump up to uncompressed there will be virtually no difference compared to going uncompressed to start with. Is this true?

  Sorry about the newbie questions, but this time I am. My first HDV project.
