  Workflow / Codec

  Posted by Autorecall2003@yahoo.co.uk on April 13, 2005 at 10:10 am

  Hi,

  I am producing a small corporate, will also be versioned as a commercial and I am soon (within a week or so) investing in a small FCP suite for this purpose. I am hiring a editor. I have some questions and I hope you will help me.

  The material will be (all pal) 30% mini DV shot in 16:9 mode. 30% mini DV shot in 4:3 mode. 10% shot on panasonic dvx100 25p. 30% shot on S16 and telecined to Digibeta masked to 1:1,77. All DV material will come from many different (old and new) cameras. All DV has to be fieldoubled.

  The output has to be on digibeta (I will rent the deck for the day) in 4:3 but masked to 1:1,77 (16:9).

  I would like to preserve the quality as much as possible, but can FCP 4.5 manage different codecs in the same timeline? How do I get the DV 16:9 anamorphic into 4:3?

  I hopefully think this pack will do the job : Powermac dual 2,5 – 4gigs ram – Dell “24 ultrasharp 2405FPW – FCP keybord – FCP 4.5 prod suite – Lacie 500gb firewire800 – Decklink HD Plus or Deklink extreme ?.

  I hope to get a few ideas from you on my workflow / codec problem, and the hardware buy.

  Thanks in advance.
