Advice on Editing New Broadcast HD Documentary & more
Hello,
I’m going to editing a rough cut of Shoulder High Productions’ newest HD natural History documentary, “Champions for Us All” and I want to do so on my FCP system. We’ll be shooting on both 1080i HDCAM with the Sony 730 and 1080i HDV with the Sony Z1U as a second camera. I am interested in:
1.) Getting some advice for how to upgrade my DVCAM based FCP4HD system to an HD ready and equiped editing system.{keep in mind I’m just trying to creat a trailer and a rough cut, not the final}
2.) I’d be interested in finding someone who could come in and set up a postproduction workflow, clean up, and oprimize my system.
3.) I will intentionally be shooting a very high ratio, not to drive my editors and myself crazy, but I’m trying to start a stock library from these expeditions which will take us from Africa, to the Pacific Islands, and then to South America. I would like to consult with some people experienced with creating and logging a stock library.
4.) I’d like to get the word out about this film as we are finishing our fundraising currently and would like to do so before we leave on our first trip in May. Any help and word of mouth would be extremely helpful.

If it’s just a trailer and rough you need, it might just be easiest, and certainly cheapest to dub your HDCAM to DVCAM, and edit with a DV proxy, similarly with the HDV. When you’re ready to online, you can uprez your media from the DVCAM timecode. I’d also be tempted to dub the HDV to HDCAM, and take a DVCAM dub of that as well for your offline, and then, when you come to online, you’re doing it all off timecod HDCAM.
