Hello,
I just read you string on AVC intra versus Prores. I was under the impression that the FCP would import AVC and work natively so that ties with what you are stating. The considerations to the best of my knowledge on a long form project would be a fast processor i.e 8 core with a good amont of RAM.
I have a shared storage solution 10TB via gigabit ethernet connection that is setup between two off FCP systems running version 7.0.
Does this sound feasible to you?
Many Thanks,
Allan
