Hey Shane,
First off thanks a lot for all your helpful answers to some of my questions in the past.

I was wondering if you would help me in a bind that I’m in:

I need to create smaller low res files to pass along to my producer for transcribing footage.
I have my files as mts and as mxf files.
I am trying to figure out a way to convert my full res (large file size) files from mts and mxf to smaller h.264 files so I can upload to youtube and have the footage transcribed through there.
I have soronson squeeze and mpeg streamclip but can’t seem to be able to have the programs recognize my files.
Are there any other options I can use. Any other ways to do this.
Note: I have imported the mts and mxf files into my project in avid and I have the original shot footage files on a hard drive.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Avid 5.5
Windows 7

Matthew you are exactly correct. It’s for a docu style reality show that needs the 24 motion look.

One more question Shane if I may.
If I want the flatter image so they can do color correction, is the cinema v setting the best option for the hvx…

Thanks for getting back to me quickly Shane.
I won’t be dealing with any of the post work myself as I am just freelancer shooting a portion of this project. It is a set of interviews that are shot with different shooters.
The rest of the footage for the show was shot on an xd cam (a 350 I think) at 23.97fs.
I just want to make sure it matches up (both scanning and frame rate) to the xd cam so the editor won’t have any issues in the cutting room.
I think if I just shoot in 1080i 24pa it would be okay, right?
Sorry I’m not too familiar with workflows on the back end.
Would it be better to shoot in 720 so it will be true progressive… will the quality be an issue compared to the xd sony 350
