  HDV FCP workflow for International Doc Project

  Posted by Lisa Rolley on June 25, 2008 at 4:04 pm

  Hey Cow Family!

  I just got handed a documentary project that is being done between here in NYC & Berlin and I have some workflow questions for you knowledgeable cats out there…

  Its all HDV PAL 1080i i believe.

  The project started in Berlin and the other editor worked on FCP 5.4.4 I have the latest version of FCP myself here in NYC and so I’am thinking we should work in that and then they would upgrade to that as well.

  Basically, he will send the project file from berlin, which we will email back and forth whenever someone makes any big changes – so that we always work in the identical file. A

  s for importing the footage – I would import in HDV – uncompressed. I would then begin organizing that footage while the Berlin based footage will be offline for the moment – a producer will go to berlin in august, bring that footage back on a separate drive so that ultimately we will have all footage here in NYC.

  I wanted to ask you FCP whizzes if you all think that’s a smart way to go about it –

  1) can I edit this format off of a firewire drive on a new macpro and just eventually have all the footage live on 1 firewire drive which we edit off of or do we transfer to my offices raid to work off of and only use the drives to transport footage?

  Thank you

  Best,

  Lisa
