Bottom line (I hope)
so “up-converting” a finished looked TIMELINE in FCP from HDV or DVC HD Pro to-> full HD 10 Bits is possible ? but only “software inside codec working ” based ? ? ?
The fact is: I live in a SD PAL world (so far) / my work is delivered in digibeta for television
So, if I have an HDV (God protect me !) or an DVC PRO HD (I prefer that) “rushes/based” project (an final timeline) will I be better off :
– to live it DVC HD PRO for color grade, title & graphics
– to convert that timeline in uncompressed 10 bits SD Codec (sofware based) as soon as I can for color grade, title & graphics and then regular SDI out ?
– to attach a stone at the end of a short rope, close the other end around my neck and jump into the Seine river ?
