Mac Pro memory issues

Hi Dave!!

Thanks so much for the quick answer!! You are totally right with multiprocessing… I had tried to and my AF just got crazy when render… Thanks for let me know as I thought that was my way of setting it up…

About the prores convertion I just have a few issues… I’m editing my project in FCP and im doing it with my sequences in XDCAM EX… always when I export any file to import it in AF I just hit export/quicktime movie/ current settings…. I suppose that with this workflow I get XDCAM EX files (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m very dummy with all this codec things). To get Pro res I have to do the same thing but just choose prores in the pop up menu (current setting menu), but I found that there is a few different pro res codec, HQ, LT, Proxi or simply nothing…. Which one should I choose?

And another question is about FCP… I don’t know if you know about FCP or I should make this question in another Forum ( let me know), well the question is that I’m in the middle of a project that I start with XDCAM EX sequence settings and all my files are XDCAM EX files… now I found that maybe it’s better to edit the project in Pro res, so I want to pass all my footages to pro res and keep the cut that I have already done…..It’s a way to convert all my files to Pro res and relink them to maintain my rough cut?

and just the last question… Sorry!!! It’s better to edit my project in pro res? if I shoot it in XDCAM EX 1080p25…or it’s fine to edit it in the XDCAM EX. I would like to grade it in Color after and make the output in Blu ray…

Thanks for your help

Thanks Dave!! but it’s not what I;m looking for… these way it’s to capture before you start your edit. but I start my edit already and what I want it’s to transfer all my media to prores and keep editing the same project without losing any rough cut!!! I don’t have any tape or media store other than on my hard drive… and it’s already capture in XDCAM EX.

Actually nobody replaies me about how to do that so I’m going to keep working like that if nothing turn up… One question about to export some of my media to AF… Could I export my files to Prores before I import them to AF and then export then in XDCAM EX to put them back in my timeline? would it this minimise the problem that AF has with XDCAM EX?

Thanks for your help
