  • Downconverting, editing with several resolutions

    Posted by Luiggi Berrios on April 22, 2008 at 1:34 pm

    I have a proyect to edit in which the DP shoot in various resolutions with a P2 Panasonic camera. 720p30, 720p60, 1080p30 and 1080p60. How should I downcovert the 1080 clips to edit all in 720p30. What settings I should use on my timeline?

    Why the heck did he do that? Do these people not think about these things?

    What settings should you use? What did they shoot the most of? What do you need to output and deliver.

    The final product is going Beta SP and DVD. I have a G4 Dual 1.42 mirrordoor with 2 gigs of ram, and FCP 6.02, but unfortunally I did not have any HD coverter or card, only a DA-MAX old DV converter that obviously can’t output the final edit. But since I have a friend that have a Kona and a Digibeta I’ll take my proyect and output it from their system to Digibeta. It’s hard for my machine to move 1080 stuff since it’s not a Intel G5 and also did I should move the material to one of my intenal extra drives inside the machine because I’m getting drop frames from an external firewire drive?
