  multiple formats question

  Posted by Romeo Rubio on May 21, 2011 at 11:24 pm

  I’m going to edit a project that’s roughly 2 minutes long. I am going to be working with a variety of files including:

  1 1080 prores
  1 1080 H.264
  2 720 prores,
  1 960×540 AIC
  2 SD DV

  I also have copies of the files as H.264 in their respective resolutions.

  In terms of the actual editing, nothing too crazy; Just a couple transitions and that’s it. The final destination is the web, maintaining the best quality, and possibly SD DVD.

  My question is what would be the best workflow? I understand that there’s going to be quite a bit of upconverting and downconverting. Maybe encoding 720p prores versions of everything, editing that, and compressing 720p H.264? What do you guys think?

  I think you answered you’re own question, as long as you can get away with the SD material up rezzed..
