This seems to be a reason for my confusion: https://community.avid.com/forums/t/115807.aspx

Though it hasn’t been updated, I have used the book on a number of MC5 and MC6 projects and it’s been a great help. I highly recommend it! Plus, Kyra has been very helpful on a personal email basis which has been a big plus! Looking forward to the update.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, matching up the C300 with the 5D footage will be interesting given the quality of the C300. Luckily we’re shooting most of the interviews/verite/EXT’s with the C300 and using the 5D in special situations where we want a little more coverage.

Thanks again for the advice about ProRes.

Yeah, looked into that but given that our project is feature-length and will have many hundreds of hours of footage I didn’t think it would be a good idea to edit natively. Hopefully we’ll be able to do that in the next few years as the hardware advances.

Interesting, I never would have thought to transcode the original H.264 files to use as a master because I’d be worried about any amount of degradation (no matter how small) but if that seems to be the consensus then it would make sense to create one large master file of the 5D shots to group with the C300.

I’ve read that there is barely a difference between ProRes and ProRes HQ but I’d imagine one would want to use HQ if you were creating a new master. Especially if the ultimate goal is a theatrical release.

Thanks again for the help!

Hey Jeff, thanks for the reply.

1) I’m using proxies for 5D because it is a feature-length documentary with potentially hundreds of hours of footage.

2) I’m using multiclip because there are quite a number of events relating to the project that are shot with two cameras and it’s easier for me to bring up a multiclip in the viewer to cut into the timeline as opposed to having a series of sequences to cut down.

Just one question on exporting the 5D as an online: Is ProRes 422 sufficient for a “master”? It was my understanding that I’d work in the Proxy codec and then reconnect to the H.264 files when it came time for finishing. Thanks!

Thanks for the message. This is a feature-length documentary with tons of footage so creating proxies was a choice to save space. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks Shane! Figured I’d post real quick before I get too frustrated
