Exporting XDCAM Footage
Hi Everybody,
I am editing a small feature, shot on the EX1. I edit the film with the FCP transcoded files in an XDCAM Timeline in FCP. When I export the whole thing, and I want to take it to ProRes – is it best doing it fromout FCP or over compressor? Also for the Colour corrections in colour: Can I do the roundtrip fromout FCP with the XDCAM timeline, or it has to be already there ProRes Files?
Thanx for some advice.
Greetings,
Sascha

Just change the sequence codec before exporting. Set also “Render in High precision”.
You can send your XDCAM sequence to color without problem. From Color you have to export in Prores, Uncompress or logarithmic.

I’ve graded EX3 native footage in Color. The only problem I had (and I also had this with HDV footage) was that there were often 1 or 2 black frames at the end of a clip that came out of Color, which also caused exports to crash. The workaround is to simply render with handles, moving the black frames out to the unused part of the shot.

Does that mean, you added before you start the roundtrip manually handles in beginning and end of each clip.
Man, for a whole feature that is some heavy prep work!How did you do it?

I’m cutting and sending to Color EX footage since more than two years and never had nothing like that.
A previous version of Color had some issues with the IN and OUT points, but that was fixed long ago.

Oh ha, I hope I am not a candidate for this problem then, since I have still the version 1.0.4.
Is that the problematic one?Sascha

No; was an older version but as I said was quickly fixed
Was just one frame shift, so the grade was applied to the first frame of the next cut. Easy to detect.
Now I work with footage from the nano-flash too, and no issues.

You told me once about it sow I watched some footage – Holy S***!
I think it’s awesome pictures! Amazing resolution.
Yup, that would be my wish – an own EX3 and a NanoFlash – dream come true.Greetz,
