    Transcode in Canon60D

    Posted by Paty Bananita on June 9, 2011 at 8:05 pm

    Hi guys, I’m a liitle new here with Avid.

    I want to transcode all my DSLR footage to DNxHD but I don’t know in what resolution.

    I have from DNxHD 36 to DNxHD 175 X MXF options.

    Thanks a lot!

    23.976/1080p project type. What is the end product? Broadcast? The Web? If you’re not going Broadcast transcode to DNxHD 115.

    Brendan, thanks for helping.

    It’s going to be for YouTube or Vimeo.

    So, what should I do?

    Thanks a lot!

    The higher the number, the larger the files/less compressed. And the converse is true as well.

    For your footage/footage, the sizes between 115-145 are decent. 175/220 is probably a waste of space. While the ‘X” resolutions (220x) contains 10 bits of video space, it probably won’t make much of a difference.

    Best,
