  • Digitising HD into AVID Xpress Pro

    Posted by Jim747 on February 28, 2007 at 4:09 am

    I have a Dual 2 ghz Power G5 running OS 10.4.7 and Avid Xpress Pro 5.6

    I have DVCpro 720p HD tapes. Should I be able to digitise this footage using firewire input? I am off-lining on the Avid Xpress and will be on-lining on an Adrenaline or Symphony Nitrus.

    How should I capture this HD footage, and what project setting should I use? I would like to down-convert on input, do I need deck that will do that or can the Xpress pro do that for me without a Mojo?

    Lots of questions… any answers?

    Thank you

    Jim

    just capture in a regular 720X486 project. Your deck/camera will be able to down convert it for you or you can use a resize effect. If it was shot 720, it’s already letterboxed anyway right?
    Firewire will work fine
    … well, it’ll work anyway.
