Export out from P2 project…
I’ve not done that much work with P2, but I’m starting a big project with all the files coming from P2 cards.
When I finish, we need to export out to tape. Will CS3 or CS4 export a P2 project out to a DVCPRO HD deck, and if so will I need anything extra or do I just need to plug the deck into the firewire port and roll the project off? I’m thinking that non-MXF DVCPRO HD is not native to PPro – correct?
My other option (I’m thinking) would be to get a Blackmagic or AJA card and use that to export out to tape. The project needs to ultimately go to D5, and finding a deck locally for rent is proving to be somewhat problematic so I was thinking about going to DVCPRO HD tape, then send out for transfer.
Any advice?

If you are going to D5, then DVCPro as an intermediary format isn’t really a good idea, given the unnecessary high compression.
Why not ask the transfer house if they would take a QT animation export on a hard disk instead ? Most will.
There may be a fee to export back, but you will get the best quality out of it.Vince Becquiot
