I’ve done this, it works, but it means I’m taking a 70mb file (the original h264) and turning it into a file that’s nearly a gig. Do you have any suggestions for keeping file-size down, without degrading quality, but still having a file I can work with in fcp?
I’m coming from a background in using uncompressed HD, but that was when I was working with a 7tb storage solution. Now I’m mobile, trying to squeeze as much as I can out of my 250gb macbook drive, and since the files I’m working with are already compressed, I’m hoping I can kind of/sort of keep them that way, while still actually being able to edit them in fcp.
