  • Which Codec for AE

    Posted by Angel Nieves on May 27, 2010 at 5:17 pm

    I shot a feature using the 5d MK2, and I converted all the files to ProRes 422. The final output will be DVD, but we may do a film transfer.

    The question now is, to do my After Effects, what coded should I use coming out of FCP, and then coming out of AE back to FCP? Should I just copy the original ProRes files and work with those? Or should I compress again from FCP?

    Just import the same ProRes files into AE. Render your output as ProRes from AE. Import into FCP. If your settings are all right, then after you render in AE it should be realtime in FCP.
