ProRes 4444 is my hero!

No rendering in an XDCAM timeline as well! Good for me since I usually stay in XDCAM for long projects (10 minutes or longer).

[gary adcock] “yes there is some loss, but for many users comfortable with DVCPROHD workflows, LT is more than enough (they are close enough to the same bit rate) for their needs. “

Thanks – good to know. There may come a time when LT fits the bill.[gary adcock] “I know of a major cable channel that is using ProRes Proxy for all of their on-air content. “

Why does that not suprise me? I’m in the middle of a mass of edits for an international sporting body – I think the edits go to around 120 broadcasters. When we discussed audio track layouts for the masters (with clean fx/voice on tracks 3 and 4) someone pointed out that many of them take delivery in DV, so only two tracks of audio are available. Oops.

I also used to love getting U-matic tapes from the US. I guess some stations still use them…
