Offline Workflow with TIFF Sequences
Hey There!
We were shooting a music video with the “nox” experimental digital camera (link: https://www.gsvitec.com/dcinema-products-camera.php) which ended up having our whole footage as TIFF sequences (12bit, 2048×1080).
Our equipment is quite limited, so we want to edit the whole stuff offline and conform it afterwards. We are doing this kind of editig the very first time and are bloody new to this procedure. It is also the first time having the footage in this form.
How would the workflow be in this case to get a final edited and graded master?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for all this n00bness 😉

What exactly are the limitations, can you tell us what is your hardware? CPU, storage, etc.

Hardware = One MacPro 1×2,8Quad 4GB RAM, One MacBook Pro 2,33GHz 2GB RAM, One PC Core2Quad (don’t know the speed right now) 4GB RAM, no decklinks or konas, a bunch of eSATA Drives (about 4TB), and yeah…thats it 😉
The limitations are, that we can’t afford more space than the 4TB and that i don’t think, that the processing speed of the hw is capable of editing 2k 4:4:4 online.
I know it is not the most professional equipment, but it is all we have. We are just some poor students.

So you will definitely go somewhere else for finishing?
In that case I’d check with the place where you are doing your online and ask them, because their equipment will define the way that your project will be conformed to something that they can work with, so you need to come up with something they can use.
I can do some suggestions like “import your tiff seqs into Quicktime Pro and save them als reference movies” but in the end these advices might get you into trouble. I think the advice should come from the people you are going to be working with.Jaap
