    I’ve been handed a project with footage in both Apple ProRes 422 HQ and 422 LT and I’m trying to decide which to use for my sequence settings. The other specs are the same: 1920 x 1080 and all shot at 23.98
    A lot is two camera shooting with the main camera at 422 HQ and the second converted to 422 LT.

    Best way forward?

    thanks!,

    We don’t know yet. It is an indie doc, could do the festival circuit, could end up on PBS. My default is the 422 HQ, but I’m trying to minimize rendering while working as much as possible. I would say the footage is 60/40 LT/HQ.

    And I plan on a full-up final post at a facility so we will be deliver to any format we need to.

    Thanks! That is the kind of common sense answer I was looking for!

    The codec sequence setting can be changed at any time so you could set it to ProRes Proxy (to keep renders quick and small) for the edit and then, at the very end, change it to HQ for your final export. the only sequence setting that cannot be changed at at time is the frame rate.
