  • HDV capture, ProRes render?

    Posted by John Wilson on August 4, 2008 at 8:24 pm

    I captured a project in HDV and am curious about the upside of rendering in either DVCpro HD or ProRes HQ. Will that make a difference or do I need to recapture?

    If you set an HDV native sequence to render to ProRes, (type cmd+zero to open that sequence’s settings and choose the processing tab to change this) you’ll speed up render times by about 40%… and with no visible picture quality loss.

    What Jerry says is true, but if you have the drive speed and space you are better off capturing to ProRes.

    Have a wonderful day.
