  Replace Footage: Replace SD with HD. -Exact footage.

  Posted by C. Ellis on February 26, 2013 at 8:38 pm

  Hello all, I’m new here and have not found an exact answer to this in the forums. On a big time crunch and would appreciate any help!

  My video project used 6 different cameras. This was an all day event and thus I have a lot of footage. I had someone pull the video from a P2 card and send it to me as one long video of all of the footage from that 1 camera.
  I began cutting and organizing it into smaller sections before realizing the person had reduced it from 1280×720 to 720×480, AFTER I had done a large portion of the work.

  Q: I have the original downloading. The footage files are identical aside from resolution. If I “Replace Footage” in the bin, will it update all of the individual clips I created from that original lower res. version? It will be extremely time consuming if I have to go back and chop it all again.

  Hope I am clear with my dilemma. I will continue editing while this 23GB file downloads if this works like I’m asking. That way I can essentially finish the video and simply replace with HD.

  Thank you!

  Replace footage works well if the current clip and replacing clip are the same length or have the same starting timecode.

  If you’re getting a new stringout that’s the same length, just the original resolution, then you should be fine. Just keep an eye out to make sure merged clips or sub clips update properly.

  Thanks Angelo,

  I have not used them yet in different multicam sequences as I need to. They are just in their individual organized bins. The person actually burned it as a playable DVD in the beginning, which I had to rip, so I don’t believe a timecode is available.

  Other than that, they should be identical in length.
