January 24, 2008 at 5:20 pmNo. This stuff was actually SD that I tested, shot with an SDX900 @ 24p. I then took a few of the raw clips, setup a Compressor preset, let it run and a few minutes later I had 24p clips. It will work the same on 1080 clips

How did the footage compare to regular DVCPRO-50 SD footage directly out of the SDX900 ?

January 24, 2008 at 5:41 pmI have never pulled an easier key. I have yet to do an HD shoot that would allow on set capture, but the next time I will definitely be capturing straight out to disk and by passing the camera codec, although we still run tape backup for assurance.

January 26, 2008 at 3:46 amDefinitely go with Prores HQ, we used to use DVCPRO HD but there would be softness introduced from the scaling to 1280 x 1080. The Pro Res is a lot sharper and gradations definitely are smoother.

Say what!?! I’m gonna have to check this out.

Sweet, I’m checking it out tomorrow. I did read here though that it doesn’t work with the new Kona drivers for Leopard. But I’m on Tiger still so I’ll check it out.
