For the first part of this project I only have a day to get the footage in and back out to tape so
my plan is to go in uncompressed and make client masters from that. But I need to be able to hold onto the project for a while so I will archive in DVCPRoHD, knowing now that if it is needed, I can go straight to tape from that timeline. I hope this sounds reasonable!!!
I was asking about mastering specifically because I wasn’t sure what codecs the HDCAM deck would accept from Final Cut Pro (and the Kona LHe).
