What’s best way to ingest then Export BETA SP footage for archiving as Quicktimes
I’m working with a documentary film director.
He wants about 70 old BETA SP tapes saved as Quicktimes for archiving.The footage was originally shot on 16mm film at 24fps.
It was converted on to BETA SP (NTSC 29.97), Address tack timecode, Key code in User Bit.Any Suggestions for a workflow??
We want to preserve the highest image quality possible.
We obviously want to save time.
We are also considering doing this in FinalCut (I’ll post this on the Final Cut fourm also)… if somebody has a recomendation between Avid and FCP for this it would be welcome.We are using an older Avid System…. Adreneline with Media Composer 3
I’m considering Capturing in MXF 1:1
Then Exporting as a Quicktime 10 bit uncompressed.Any Suggestions??
I’m also having problems getting his Avid to recognize the BETA deck.
I’ll write a separate post for that. -

70 30 minute tapes?
