Thanks luke! Your information was invaluable. I couldn’t really make out which card to get from the black magic website, but now i understand things better. I just have one more question though: since i have to ultimately always master everything in dvcam should i still capture and use effects in either uncompressed or mjpeg and then downconvert to dv just before printing to tape? Or should i capture, edit, and color grade everything in dvcam to avoid any further gen loss? Which workflow would yield the best results?
Some people see things that are and ask, Why
Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not?
Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.
