XDCAM HD downconvert back to online.
Admitedly I did this wrong from the start, but there were time constraints and now they are gone.
I shot a short film for the Fargo 48 film festival with a 330 in 1080 24p. Enable to get it done and turned in on time I just captured it DV out of the firewire.
Now that the compettion is over I’d like to go back and do an HD version. Right now I don’t have a deck only the camera so I was going to bring the file in FAM mode. Is there a way I could match the timecode up to with the clips in my DV timeline? Should I try to use media manger for this?
The problem I introduced (and I knew this going in) was with coming in DV as I created clips with different names than the files which are 00001, 00002….
My set up is dual 2 G5 4 gigs ram kona 2 FCP 5.1.4. xserve, xraid tons of space.
Any help would be appreciated other than telling me I should have thought about it before capturing. Due to the 48 hour time restriction my machine would not have been able to handle XDCAM HD footage. That is why I downconveted to DV.
Thanks

Looks to me like it’s a re edit… but if you keep your first edit online, you’ll have a guide.. DV clips match timecode wise?

I can find the matching time code, but the imported clips have varying lenths than the
DV clips. Since I’m not in a hurry to get an HD version I decided I’d just wait since we’re having another 4 suite install and a bunch of equipment coming in a month. Then we’ll have a deck and the FCP upgrade. I’ll just use media manager to make and offline then I’ll bring it in through the kona using the Pro Res codec. It will give me a good chance to play with that codec then.I didn’t think there was an easy way of doing it, but thought I’d ask anyway. I’m just glad to have a fun non time sensitive project so I can try to figure things out in my free time. That way I hopefully won’t be blindsided when the time comes when a client project calls for it.
