  Sequence settings and workflow

  Posted by Lisa Rolley on March 20, 2008 at 6:40 pm

  Hello

  I am cutting a reel for a friend and i was given a bunch of quicktimes which are 720×486 but in a few different codecs (Uncompressed 8 bit & 10 bit, None & Apple Animation) I want to be able to cut in real time without things being all sticky and slow so my question is how do i go about this and then bring my cut once its locked back up to full res for output to dvd & web.

  i guess this is also a general workflow question in terms of getting full res qt’s from artists and such and then being able to edit it at half res or whateve and then once the edit is locked bringing it back up to full res.

  I have a Macpro 2x 2.8 ghz. quad-core 4gb ram with 1 additional internal hard drive that is 750 gb but not a RAID which I edit off of while my apps and everything else live on the HD.

  I also have an ntsc monitor and a blackmagic decklink card but for some reason i dont see playback when i am in an ntsc animation sequence it only displays the picture when i am parked on a frame in the timeline – wont playback in realtime – i looked around a little bit on the forum and it seems that most people dont like the animation codec – regardless i think because of my equipment limitations I cannot play back uncompressed 8 or 10 bit anyways.

  Any help people can provide would be a great help

  thank you

  Lisa
