How do i go from offline to online?
Hello
I have never done this process and I’am hoping someone can better explain how to do this…i looked through some threads but nothing really answered my questions.
I am taking RAW files and converting in AE7 2 streams of quicktimes 1) Online as Animation and the other set which I will actually edit in (offline) Pro Res 422. The raw sequences are 1920×1080 @ 30fps and there is 35 of them in all – sepreated into named folder.
I have never gone from the offline to Online process and I am just wondering what the best way of going about this might be.
I was thinking to edit in pro res and then once picture is locked online up to the animation version of the qt video files in order to hand off to animators and such to work with full quality footage…the only problem is i have never used media manager or cinema tools and have no idea how to do this process.If anyone has some advice please let me know what will be best for workflow.
thank you

ProRes isn’t an offline codec, it is a finishing codec. DVCPRO HD is more of an offline codec.
I don’t know the rest as I don’t work with RAW…

Hey Shane thanks for getting back to me
ok so i read a thread compairing dvcpro hd with pro res and so i was under the impression that it was a very high quality offline which would allow for fast editing speed as opposed to working in Animation
I just did a test in AE7 taking one of the raw image sequences and setting it to dv/dvcpro but the resulting qt looks very cruddy compaired to the pro res qt. Also when i try doing this same codec setting in qt pro instead of making it the current 1920×1080 it brings it down to sd frame size – it seems i am using the same setting in ae and qt pro but obviously qt pro is shrinking the resolution down…
I am just confused about what codec to edit offline in with these raw image sequences…in the end i will take the final locked edit offline and replace with animation files identical in name just obviously hi res online.
any help would beg reat here in that i have spent so much of the wknd searching the forum and rendering diff formats.
thank you
