    DV footage needs rendering. WHY?

    Posted by Ed Stevens on September 3, 2005 at 6:54 pm

    My SYSTEM

    MAC dual G5 2.5 gig. 4.5 gb RAM. OS 10.3.8
    Blackmagic Decklink Extreme card v4.8b
    FCP 4.5 production Suite
    500GB G-Raid Firewire800
    Decks = Beta-SP, DVCpro, DigiBeta.
    Audio Mix = Mackie 1604 VLZpro
    I believe I have the stock display card

    I am working on a project and have been sourcing from Digibeta
    through component. I needed 2 clips from DVCpro and digitized that through firewire. The DVCpro footage needs to be rendered on the timeline. Why?

    Thanks in Advance.
    ED

    Ed,

    Why not? Two different media types with different pixel dimesions on the same timeline = something has to happen. Either you render the DV material on the timeline, or transcode to the same format as the material on your timeline, probably BM 8-bit, 10-bit, or JPEG.

    DRW
    (BTW, I have the same setup as you except on a G5 2.3)

    compare the compressor and frame sizes of you captured media to your sequence. you will find your answer.
