You will not be able to get real time dynamic link like updates of changed files. But you can use batch import to update that file with the changes you have made in photoshop once you save.

Awesome John, will have to try that as well.

Sounds like a really fun project to work with your son on. In your settings you should be able to change the default still duration and then import them all at the desired length. Do a test with 10 stills or so to see if it plays right in your sequence before importing the whole batch. Good luck and have fun.

go into the BCC effects, I think there is a film effect one or film process, something like that.

I will agree that it will not make your already compressed footage look any better but it is not a double compression. Both the DNxHD and ProRes codecs are so good there is almost no difference between the original and transcoded clips. There are tons of reports of film editors blowing DNx-36 up on preview screens and being stunned by the quality. All this aside, the big thing is what you will do to the footage after transcoding. All your effects and color correction will be affecting a much higher quality file that you can push around with less damage then if you were pushing around the XDCAM clip, especially in the DNxHD-X 10 bit forms. It sucks to take the space and time hit making the new files but it is better to take the pain at the beginning of the project then when you have to transcode your sequence at the end. Plus getting out of the Long-GOP XDCAM keeps you out of trouble with reference files and such.

Since I just referenced this link on a different post I’ll share it with you too. It is a Avid PDF with all types of info on DNxHD to get you up to speed. Good luck. https://www.avid.com/static/resources/US/documents/dnxhd.pdf

Ya you are going to get a size increase like that with any conversion from a highly compressed format into an intermediate codec like DNxHD or ProRes. I think with 145 it is about a gig a minute. Here is Avid’s PDF on DNxHD that has a bunch of charts showing expected conversion results https://www.avid.com/static/resources/US/documents/dnxhd.pdf

Don’t have any answers for you but a potential lead. Check out Shane Ross’ blog at https://lfhd.net/
He deals with avid>fcp>color stuff a lot and does great write ups on this type of workflow. Personally I would have the editor at least transcode the sequence to DNxHD 175X so you have 10 bit files to push around in color. Good luck.Editor / Motion Graphics Artist
