    HVX-200 DVCPro 50 to Prores 422

    Posted by Jeff Wilmes on October 17, 2011 at 8:20 pm

    I’m being asked to shoot DVCPRO 50 with the HVX-200 and transfer the files to a hard drive in the field as prores 422. Is having a MBPro with FCP and/or Compressor installed, the only way to accomplish this in the field?

    You should ask them if DV50 is ok. If they can read Prores, they can read dv50. This will save a small generation step.
    But, to answer your question.

    YES.

    Use compressor on the MBP.

    If they insist they want ProRes, 1, charge them accordingly or 2, give them the P2 files and have them convert to whatever codec they want.
