You’re right Norman.
I’m afraid to know how many more hard drives I’ll need to buy to fill them up with Pro Rezed movies. I’m working with a Macbook Pro, so I have to use external ones. I also want to be as portable as I can, so I can bring one hard drive around to other people and get feedback.

Thanks Bouke

You definately know what goes on behind the scenes in FCP.

Now that I’m confident that I can relink a ProRes Proxy final edit to the original H264 cousins, lets talk workflow.

What program should I use to convert all the footage? I’m using Mpeg Streamclip, does that work?

At what point and how do I ‘tell’ FCP to link my final Proxy edit to the H264 files?

Also, although they are different shots, some of the files DO have the same file names as others, but none are the same length. Is that going to be a problem? Just want to make sure, it sounds like FCP is smart enough to know the difference.

Again, thanks for your response (and everyone else for that matter). This Creative Cow forum is new to me, and its becoming a real life saver!
