HDV output workflow question

[Walter Biscardi]

[Mike Parfit] “We captured in HDV and recompressed when we tried DVCPRO HD. We just didn’t find working in DVCPRO HD that much faster, probably because of the simplicity of our narrative structure.”

That’s your slowdown. You want to capture native in DVCPro HD through the Kona for the DVCPro HD workflow to work correctly.

Ah, OK, that makes sense. There must be a difference in the codecs, so the Kona DVCPRO HD codec must work faster in a Kona-FCP system than the one that I create just by using FCP to recompress individual files through Quicktime export.

But I see that I could use Media Manager to recompress the HDV into the AJA Kona 3 29.97 DVCPro HD codec. Wouldn’t that solve that issue?

Thanks!

No, the codec is the same, but capturing anything natively to a codec rather than recompressing it to something else always works better.

Capturing in DV and then upconverting that footage to 8bit SD and then editing with that footage is not as clean as allowing the Kona to capture the DV footage natively at 8bit 720×486 for example.

Walter,

thank you for your information. but you haven’t answered my question.

after you finish editing in DVCpro HD codec, how do you output to HDV deck?
or do you rent or buy DVCpro HD deck just for the sake of outputting?

Thank you.

I too would love to hear if there is an option besides rendering?

has anyone got an answer to this yet? you ingest your HDV to DVCPRO HD, edit your project, then how do you get it back to tape for archiving or whatever? can the guy use the HDV deck?
