import footage to MC6 without further conversion
Hi folk,
I´m new to the Media Composer, because I was doing only Music and sound-design until now. I bought media composer 6, because it works with my system. This is presently not capable for 4k. So, the mc6 was ok for me… and cheaper ;-).Well, I received a half TB of 4k shot material from a friend of mine. I´m just going through Kevin p mcauliffes Mediacomposer 6 Lessons now to learn how MC works. But I needed to convert that 4k Footage to HD to use with mc6 and my system. It is just for practice. I converted down with handbrake.
I convert all that 4k stuff (FS7, Alpha7, drone and gopro) to HD1920x1080 with 25 frames and h264. This is necessary to my mind, because my system could not handle 4k, so I´m needing to convert first to do even anything. Here comes my question now. I apologize, his is all new to me: Now I would like to import to MC6, because it works more fluently compared to AMA on my system. When I import now, I have a lot of needed time for importing (and converting) once again. I set the MC6 settings to 1080p25, 1920×1080, YCbCr709, 25FPS and tried DNxHD120MXF, 185 and 185x. But this takes all a lot of time once again to convert once again and copy. Is there a possibility to set up MC6 to a setting in a way just to (nearly) copy the stuff without rendering for hours once again? Or maybe we can say: to provide footage to MC6 in a way, that there is no further compilation and changing needed?
Cheers
