Log & Capture HDV as Pro Res OR just set render tab to Pro Res after the fact?

[Rafael Amador]

Hi Lisa,
There are different opinions about what is more convenient, but I don’t see the point of capturing ProRess unless you will edit with few layers in a no much powerful machine.
I work with EX-1 (very close to HDV) and normally I edit native. When my sequence is ready to export, I change the codec to ProRess and set “Render all YUV material in High Precission YUV”.
You have another option that is edit HDV and when your time line is done, recapture as ProRess only your sequence. Better than capturing 120 tapes as ProRess.
Don’t forget another intersting option that FC offers, that is editing in HDV but render to ProRess.
This option is only available when working with EX-1 or HDV footage.
Cheers,

hey raphael
thanks for the response – the last option is what i was goign with and am just going to stick with that. in that its a long form doc i guess what u are saying is that i should only change the render tab to pro res when its time to render out a final locked edit…

thank you

Hi Lisa,
The thing is to make the editing as easy as possible and set FC to his best quality only right before export the master.

hi,
is this about changing the render-options in the user settings? and if so, what difference does it make for the final export of the project if the render-files are ProRes instead of the native codec?

Hi Andreas,
Setting “Render to ProRess” have a little problem: When you export you are not exporting to ProRess but to the sequence codec. The render files are for nothing.
I prefer set the sequence as Proress. When you export, you export the already rendered files.
