  • I must render all footage captured?

    Posted by Randy Rohde on June 27, 2005 at 4:46 pm

    I have an AJA IO board and I usually capture BetaSP from a 2600 all is well. When I unplug the AJA and plug in my XL1 to capture DV I must render that footage. I think iread I must set up the timeline before capturing but I don’t know how to do that AND what if I am using both BetaSP and miniDV on the same timeline?

    If you use 2 different formats in a timeline, you will have to render one of them…because they different formats.

    If you want to work with both BetaSP and DV in the same timeline you need to capture them both at the same resolution. 8_bit uncompressed for example. Then use an 8-bit timeline and you are good to go.

    I do everything in uncompressed 8bit still need to render the DV? I never set up a timeline i just open a project how do you set up the timeline to be 8 bit?

    It sounds like your timeline IS 8-bit if your Beta footage is working just fine. What you need to do is capture the DV footage as 8-bit video.

    In other words, hook the camera up to the AJA board instead of using firewire.
