HD down conversion
Hi – I am starting a project with big HD files. I did a test and converted one file in compressor to a prorez 422 file. Then imported that into my season and then used media manager to make a copy in NTSC dv. I then made a few edits in a dv sequence and then reconnected those edited clips to the original prorez file. It all seemed to reconnect fine. Is this the proper workflow?

A proper workflow for what? What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to work out an offline/online (wow those terms are 22 years out of date) then you’re talking ProRes Proxy and ProRes 422 for finishing.
What do you mean by “HD?”Non-linear: all the time and nothing but.

Yes those archaic terms- I want to work off line and then convert back to the original files for the output. My iMac can’t handle the prorez. Thanks!

do it with ProRes Proxy. And how are you getting your HD into your machine in the first place?

I have an iMac 2.4 ghz with 4 gigs of ram. I am running FCP 6.06
I am bringing full res files in off of a DVD that was burned for me as a test but will have them eventually on a drive. How do I do the prores proxy? HD I mean as 1980×1080 shot on an 5d canon. Thanks! -
I’m not sure yet to do it with file-based footage. I work from HDCAM tape, and it’s relatively easy. You are using MTS files?

I’m sorry I don’t know what mts means
