using a line cut

[Mark Suszko] ” Right now, your editing method is to brute-force the cuts by watching each transition in the master cut and copying that in the secondary timeline from the isos.”
Why? Just use the line cut until you want to not use it, then cut to an ISO. No need to do all of that to the Line cut.
[Steven Austin] “CalDigit VR2 – Dual HDD Hardware RAID – eSATA, USB 3.0/2.0, FireWire 800 & 400 (4TB)
My tower is 1st gen quad core, FW800, 2.55ghz, 10,000 rpm raptor drive. No Thunderbolt or eSATA ports on my tower.
Is that enough horsepower to move these files around?”
Nope. With 4 streams of ProRes, you AT LEAST need eSATA. Firewire 800 will not cut this, at all. And the 2 drive CalDigit also isn’t fast enough…you need a 4-6 drive RAID 5 or RAid 0….connected via eSATA or Mini SAS or Fibre.
ProRes…not ProRes HQ. You’ll have a tough enough time doing this with ProRes….HQ will be impossible!
You might need to resort to an offline/online workflow. Import the footage, and then Media Manage it to Offline RT HD…or ProRes Proxy. Edit with the offline, relink to the online.

Many reasons. Badly matched cameras, lots of recuts anticipated. Things can get crazy. On this year Russian Fort Boyard I had five different “line cuts” and no ISO’s. Every trim was a surprise.
