    HDCAM down convert to DVCPROHD

    Posted by Liam Stephens on March 16, 2007 at 7:48 pm

    Hi All
    I’ve just inherited a feature that was shot on HDCAM (Not sure of the specs yet). Basically I would like to downconvert the HDCAM footage to DVCPROHD within FCP so i can edit it without filling up my hard drive and also give us more time to find the right RAID to do our online with. How would i go about doing this?
    cheers

    Just use the Capture Preset: Blackmagic HTDV 1080p/23.98 – DVCPRO-HD. Works great, looks really good.

    You will need to do this through a BMD HD capture card using the HD-SDI connection. Test this first. Capture a few clips at the 100 codec and then recapture at full uncompressed.
