Newb question: full res clips made offline through media manager
I’ve been reading about making (already captured) full res clips into “photo Jpeg offline clips” for quicker render/realtime effects…but I’m curious as to how I re-configure my low-res edit back into my online full quality edit….do I create an EDL? From reading the FCP manual there’s seems to be a possibility that the EDL might not retain all my info accuratly. I thought that an easier way might be to turn my low-res clips offline and “reconnect” them with the hi res ones??? I’m not actually recapturing them since I already have them on my computer at hi res….I guess I’m just asking for the quickest way to up-res
thanks in advance

Unless you really need the speed increase, I would not tread this path.
You can make it work, but if you are doing effects work that is complex enough to see a benefit from the lower res clips, then you will likely have issues with using the media manager to handle the re-capture or reconnect process. This frustration will likely negate the time you gained, and might even threaten your deadlines as the reconnnect/recapture process occurs closer to the end of the work.
It does depend on your workflow, however. I would suggest you experiment and test until you are comfortable before you try this on a job with a deadline. Make sure to include speed effects and nests in your experiments, as these are the things that seem to give media manager the most trouble.
