Xpress Pro Offline to Media Composer HD Online questions
Hi, I’ve been working on a project that uses Xpress Pro (5.2.x) workstations to cut an HD show.
We capture XDCAM 35 Mbit via the Xpress Pro mojo at DV25 quality. When it’s time to prep for Online, we are then going to move the project to a Media Composer workstation and re-capture the XDCAM as DNxHD 220.
QUESTIONS: Can anyone recommend some online resources for learning the proper way to do this workflow? Does the Media Composer manual cover this?
Also, one last thing, we’ll eventually need to scale up some Beta SP stock footage for the HD online. Would a Beta to XDCAM deck be the best for this, or Beta deck straight into the Media Composer via the mojo?
Sorry if this is a lot to ask. I’m just planning ahead here, so want to get started in the right direction early on.
Thanks a lot for any help!

Couldn’t you just copy your project files without the media to a disc, then open the project on the MC? You’ll need to batch capture the footage in your sequence footage anyway for DNxHD 220.

Hi, yes, that’s what I was planning to do. But I want to understand more about the proper workflow. Is it just a matter of creating a project in MC with the DNxHD 220 settings, then capturing?
And any idea about scaling SD sources?

Think so. It will batch capture at whatever resolution you have chosen in the capture tool…unless you have the option set to preserve the resolution of the logged clip…whereas it will capture or attempt to capture at whatever res the clip was logged at.

dont forget to consolidate the seq before batching.
