Downconvert to SD?
on my g5 quad it takes about 4x longer than the length of the video to do that. That was with 720P 60fps P2 footage downconverted to SD 29.97fps, though the frame rate conversion took much of that time.

[Chris Babbitt] “Ingest the raw files and edit in XDCAM native, then downconvert to SD on Export?”
YES.
But anything you render from after effects has to be done with the animation or other codecs. Apparently there is a problem rendering back to the XDCAM codec for graphic work.

go back to Tiger to fix it.

[aazz44] “What settings do I use to capture HDV? Is it possible to do through Firewire?
Before exporting to Compressor, do I need to Export it as a Quicktime Movie first?
Also, I saw in a magazine that there was a HDMI capture card available for Apple. I think it was $149. Would that work?”
yes it works over firewire.
There are easy setups for HDV, use the appropriate one.You might export it out of fcp as an uncompressed or prores file before going to compressor, it will take less time that way.
you don’t need to capture over hdmi, will not make any quality difference and you would need hdmi out from your camera which does not have that interface.

The Kona 3 has a legalizer?

I’ve done this with HDV footage and the best quality I found was to capture and edit the HDV as HDV.
when your all done, export that timeline to compressor with a dvd setting and make sure the resize section of it is set to best quality. It will take 3 to 4 times longer than your timeline to compress it, but it will look fantastic with no aliasing.

[mr.escandon] “Both flavors of ProRes 422 are 10-bit.”
I’ve heard that as well, but what I don’t like seeing is that there is indeed an option for 8-bit prores in fcp.
The HQ version takes up more disk space for sure, but I really can’t visually see a difference between it and the non HQ version. Still though I always use HQ to not take a chance as it takes up so little room compared to uncompressed.

I JUST got the update from flip4mac to fix .wmv exports from the last version of quicktime, I can wait this one out.
