NEX-FS100 Workflow

[T. Payton]

As an aside, HDV ingest from tape in FCP X is pretty fantastic, and for my workflow miles ahead of FCP 7. Create a “Camera Archive” for each HDV tape and it behaves just like file based footage.

Interesting. I haven’t tried HDV ingest through FCP X yet. I understand that HDV ingest creates files at camera stop points, rather than Batch capture of logged In & Out points. Then again, we can creat multiple Ins and Outs on a file by creating Favorites. I’ll have to give it a try.

FS100 works very well with FCPX, I wasn’t expecting much from the codec but it actually stands up very well. Use the “import camera archive” function in FCPX and it brings in the files very quickly, much faster than FCP7 does with AVCHD material.

Thanks, Steve. This is just what I was hoping to hear. Now I’m off to the mall to talk to Santa about my wish list.

FCP works well with AVCHD. You can edit native H.264 in QuickTime or transcode to ProRes.

All the best,

Tom

Thanks Tom.

While you can edit native AVHDC files, on my system the video stutters too much so I transcode to ProRes and while in theory you can start editing quickly, in practise you are better of waiting for the files to transcode as things do slow down quite a bit. This background processing is a bit of a furthy in my opinion. Other than that the FS100 and FCPX are not a bad match.
