Thanks Shane. When you say it would take 1.05TB is this assuming I capture as HDV? Isn’t the HDV codec kinda low quality? I do have a Kona 3 so I think I could get a little more out of it can’t I?

Thanks guys! I do just want to clarify one more thing…… i’m using Kona 3 in to FCP so when digitizing my HDV footage what codec should i use to first off get the best quality possible and secondly conserve drive space? I know that if I captured Pro Res HQ it would be almost 800GB per hour at least thats what my AJA calculator is telling me.

Andrew,

thank you for your time. I have about 85 hours of footage that is all shot in 1080i HDV format. I only have about 1TB drive space and want to bring all of the footage in. There is no way i can fit it in as Pro Res footage.

So in FCP what settings must I use to bring this footage in at low res? Second, since i will be digitizing full tapes is FCP going to only bring back in the in and outs of the clips used in the timeline when i re digitize at full res? How is this done or what will these tasks be under in my manual? Thank you for your time! It’s greatly appreciated.

Chris,

I have about 85 hours of HDV footage for a documentary here. In your post it said to bring interviews in at 20:1 and B-roll at 10:1 resolution. Once I have an edit what do i do from there to get my footage back up to full or high res? I need to make this an efficient work flow but simply do not have lots of drive space and need a final HD product! HELP!
