Replacing AVCHD with Prores without reimporting
Posted by Anette Olsen on August 20, 2012 at 10:26 amI just logged and transferred a bunch of AVCHD-files fra my SDcart into FCP and forgot to chose Apple ProRes 422 in the Import Preferences window.
Can I replace those files without reimporting?And if yes, how to do?

How did you bring in the footage in the first place? what format?

August 21, 2012 at 12:22 pmProres is the default format when using L&T with AVCHD footage, so I guess your stuff is already Prores.
Check it in the Browser.

The AIC is a very lossy and you will end up with a crap of footage.
