Capturing Low-Res Files from XDCAM Software

Shane, you do realise that for British TV you don’t have to repeat every shot 3 times? Cheers, Andy 🙂

You DON’T? Damn…guess I am going to have to re-edit that…

Hee.

I am not one of the editors on this show…just the editor that the production company goes to when they are faced with workflow issues. They are all used to Avid.

Shane,

Sounds like you have an interesting situation with the mixed formats. I’d love to hear how the online goes when all is said and done. I’m just a small fry, and I’d never thought about issues stemming from using an EX1 as a B-camera along something higher-end.

Did you just transfer the EX footage as usual and recompress those files to DV? I imagine those would be relatively easy to reconnect. Maybe maybe label all of the EX originated files and separate them onto a different track, or sequence, before dealing with the HD-CAM…?

Yep…with the media manager. I don’t think we’ll have a problem reconnecting.

That’s the plan Stan.
