Thanks Shane, I have another question if you don’t mind please…
I’m confused on AVC HD versus PRORES data rates:
I shot 75 mins (16GB SDHC card) at 1920×1080 60I with my Sony PJ-790V. The resulting footage, ingested as PRORES422 (not LT.. just 422), went onto my hard drive via Log and Transfer @ approximately 80 GB for the files.
That’s about 1.06 GB per min, 17 MB per second. Now I’m sure this is the data rate at which the AVC media was recorded.
However when I ingested with PRORES422 which has a data rate of 147 MB per second, I expected my files to be about six times larger on my hard drive than they were.
What gives here?
I’m certain this confusion has made obvious the fact that this is my first experience with AVC HD. I have been working with HDV/mini tapes for the last seven years.
Also can you tell me why I don’t have to do any kind of rendering to work? As soon as I ingested the footage into my sequence I was ready to work right away.
Pleasant surprise but I’m used to importing with FireWire and having to render to do editing.
This new way for me seems seamless- I just want understanding it!
Thanks for your patience.. appreciate it!
