[Jeremy Garchow]

Prores will work great.

[Jaap van Hoewijk] “What would the the best setting to import HDCAM footage? Prores 422? Or Prores 422HS? 444? “

You gain absolutely nothing by capturing 8bit (yes HDCam is 8bit 3:1:1) content to ProRes HQ.

thanks for the responses
@Gary: I did not know HD Cam was 8bit 3:1:1. So what would be the best setting to capture HD CAM?

[Jeremy Garchow]

ProRes! Just not HQ.

I find that for most people the ProRes or ProResLT versions work fine for HD or SD output from 8bit camera masters, like those you get from those HDCam/ EX / XDCam originals.
