    Possible Drive Space Issue

    Posted by Tom Amici on January 24, 2008 at 6:13 pm

    Hi FCP World.
    Is their a calculater to help me prepare for drive space when HD Jobs are being planned out. I have a possible 45 min dvcpro 100 hd job coming in. It’s 45 min. max. How much drive space will I need?
    Thanks for any help.

    Check out page I-180 of the FCP user manual. It has a table of popular formats and data rates. DVCPRO HD 1080i60 is 11.75 mb/sec.. so you can do the math to calculate your project needs.
