Offline Multicam to Online Master
Hello all. I’m coming from a Media Composer background so this process is confusing me a bit. I have music video footage shot on a 5D Mark II, 1920×1080, 23.976. I’m cutting on a G5 dual 2gig in FCP 6.0.6. I am wanting to multicam several clips into a rough cut but my computer does not have the power to play back the multiple angles in any kind of respectable fashion using Apple ProRes HQ.
To test how I could get better performance I used the Media Manager to transcode several clips into Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60. Then i made a multiclip from those newly transcoded files and the playback performance was great. Now I know this is an offline codec. But with the performance boost that it provides to my limited system I would like to edit in this offline method and conform later to a higher res. Let’s say I use AIC, or some other recommended offline codec, how do I then upres the final sequence back into Apple ProRes HQ?
Thanks Fellow Bovines,

Well…How did you import the footage? Log and Transfer? Normally I’d say take that project to a MacPro and media manage the sequence using the MAKE OFFLINE option…as I point out in this tutorial:

BUT…there is a big issue with Log and Transfer and the EOS Log and Transfer plugin. Try to re-import on another computer and…you can’t do it. Jeremy Garchow found this out…
It all depends on how you started this process.
