  Receive Uncompressed files, create DVCPROHD?

  Posted by Steven Gonzales on May 3, 2007 at 7:39 pm

  Some folks I’m helping have a plan to receive 4:4:4 files (exact format not yet clear) from telecine, and then use software conversion on the edit system to create DVCPROHD files for editing.

  Has anyone done this type of down-conversion, can you make any suggestions, and does it seem a feasible workflow (sorry for the current lack of detail)?

  Thanks in advance.

  I’d run a couple of tests, to make sure that you can get matching TC. You should be able to do this either with Compressor or using the batch export in FCP.

  If you use Compressor, you can adjust the frame controls to smooth out any scaling. Make presets for the DVC Pro settings you want & the destination & make those the defaults, and it should be almost automatic.

  Likewise within FCP, once you’ve got your settings & destination set, it’s all taken care of by FCP.
