HiRezFilmLookFootage_inDVX10060i FCPro4.5 project_RenderRenderRender
G5 2.7Dual Ghz/6G Ram/FCPro4.5HD/No capture/vid card
I guess the subject line explains it.
Shot short film in 60i DVX100 – period piece.
Exported footage to FilmLook – captured hi rez Filmlook output at Lightning Digi to HD
Making changes to the cut, everytime I move vid elements in timeline,
FCPro wants to do a 20 minute render.Best workaround, anyone?
1. Convert hirez footage to DV – How?
and reimport into the project?2. Get an AJA Kona card?
I have 7 days til the film fest debut. I don’t want to be watching paint dry
during that time while this puppy renders on.Thanks,

Oh…always really tough to make changes to a cut AFTER the whole online, color correct, film look process has taken place.
How did you get the footage into your system to edit? How do you plan on exporting it out?
Converting your nice high res image to DV will REALLY defeat the purpose. You’ll be highly compressing it and it will look VERY different from your original.
I guess you’ll have to explain first the top to questions before I can recommend a Kona. I’d recommend that as what to use to import high rez, make changes, and output back to HD. But if it is already in your system, depending on HOW you got it there, I am unsure how the Kona would help now, other than the ability to output. The render times are dependant on you having that codec in your machine, and the card that handles it.

Create a sequence with the same settings as your footage.

Mixed media – DV & Blackmagic 8 bit 2VUY 720×487 millions 29.97
What I did was open the large Blackmagic QT’s in Quicktime pro and export
as DV.The footage still looks better than the original DV footage.
Created a new sequence and have replaced the old Blackmagic with the new
exported DV footage. Looks fine.
The short film is not for uprezing anyway.
Basically a fest piece to use for sales tool to make the feature.Time crunch.
Thanks everyone.
