HVX-200, Windows XP and Raylight
We want to avoid the extra steps of using our Final Cut Pro system to prep P2 files for processing in a Windows-based version of After Effects. My strategy would be to dump the P2 media to an external drive, organize and tag it with Panasonic’s P2 Reader and convert the files to uncompressed .avi via Raylight. Anyone see any problems with this workflow?

Raylight (using RayMaker) can convert the MXF files into AVI’s readable by After Effects with no recompression, so there is no need to create the uncompressed files.

How big are the AVI’s after conversion with Raylight?
Can the files be converted on a Mac with QT Pro? If so, what’s the best way? I tried converting a one minute 1080i60 MXF file to AVI. The MXF was 850.7MB and after I exported to AVI (Video Only) it jumped to 6.98GB! Any suggestions for this avenue?

Raylight AVI’s must be created by RayMaker which runs in Windows. They are either the same size as the MXF files (self-contained variety) or much smaller (proxies).
