  • mixing varicam and Z-1, cut by cut

    Posted by Dale Larsen on March 16, 2008 at 6:55 am

    I was reading old posts about format mixing but no definitive answer.

    I have a project with varicam 24P material & Z-1 60i material.

    some even intercut shot by shot.

    Other than prayers, any suggestions?

    i have a Deck link HD card. I was thinking I would convert everything to some HD format and edit there for eventual HD output for blu ray (don’t know the specs for that delivery yet).

    Completely open for ideas here.

    I am using FCP studio 2

    have 3.6 TB of space, dual 2.0 G5, 6 gigs of ram

    Thanks

    I haven’t tried this particular combination, but have you tried using an Apple Pro res 422 codec for capture and the same time line? If you haven’t got an approved graphics card or processor then make make sure you only use the Pro Res 422 and not the Pro res 422 HQ codec, it will lock out your graphics card and cause no end of problems.
