PRORES proxy to PRORES 422
Excuse me if this is a dumb question, just started working with DSLR and FCP.
If I encode my footage to PRORES 422 PROXY with MPEG Streamclip. Edit with it.
Re-encode the original H264 files footage with Streamclip to PRORES 422.
Delete the renders.Then remove the PROXY footage and when FCP asks reconnect it to the PRORESS 422 footage. re-render.
Would it work? They would be essentially the same files just a higher resolution right?
I have had a look around and seen things involving media manager, but as I’ve already cut the project in PROXY I don’t want to go back to square one again.
Any help would rock my world.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,
That should work.
Before starting your next project, have a look to this article:

And THIS tutorial…about importing proxies…editing, and then re-importing the files as higher quality. And ONLY the footage you use in the cut, instead of ALL of the footage.

Hi Rafael,
Thanks for your reply, and the link.
Unfortunately the card structure was not in place in this case, so I couldn’t go the whole log and capture route. Next time however… -
Great stuff, thanks for your reply Shane!
