Started reading this thread and got curious. I opened VTR exchange but I don’t see an edit to tape function.. only capture and grab..

To edit red footage… that budget is not gonna get you very far.. the computer alone will cost that much. A good i/o card like a kona Lhi will run you 12-1500.. then you need a good raid….that will give you 250-300 mb/sec for good throughput.

What transitions are you trying to use and what effect are you trying to achieve.

HDV is a great is a good acquisition format but due to the fact that it uses mpeg compression it’s not a great codec for post-production. There are different ways to handle it. You can bring it in 1080i 60 then create an Apple Pro-res sequence and render out the material as pro-res which may take a little time depending on the length of the material. You can also capture 1080i 60, edit and then export your material directly to a quicktime file using the pro-res codec or You can also do an easy setup and capture directly to pro-res. I personally think number three is the most efficient method.

Have you tried using compressor to convert it to Pal

you can import it into fcp 7 using the log and transfer mode but 1080 p 50 means 50 HERTZ for pal. If you don’t need to work in a pal base use 1080p 30

download a free utility called mpeg stream clip off the web and use that to convert the avi to dv

Most stations are asking for commercials to be delivered in H.264 and MPEG2 for their servers. I hate doing it sometimes but even if you send them a beta or digibeta they compress to H.264 anyways. We’ve all gotta start getting used to it
