Hey Glenn thank you so much for your answer. I’ve been studying the theme a lot and found a good balance for the needed workflow. I will not be using Resolve because it adds a lot of manual steps that open the door for human error. Silverlight allows increases safety and allows QC, Audio Sync and transcodings with REC.709 Applied.

I have many of the answers for the list of questions you have posed.

They will edit in Premiere Pro.

There’s an avarage of 1,5TB/Day of footage. Only one camera is being used.

The workflow of data is: 4 MAGS » 2 SSD Transport copies » G RAID MASTER & BACKUP

I’m doing a a daily turnaround (after the SSD Transport arrives).

They provide all the gear and storage.

They are Shooting Arriraw that needs to be transcoded into ProRes to allow for easy view and edit. Timecode is being synced with audio.

I’ve been searching a lot and found that Silverstack Lab will suit the project perfectly!

[Angelo Lorenzo] “AVCHD isn’t a compression format, it’s just a branded mix of camera/recording media/file folder structure/tuned codecs.”

That sure is complicated… Do you know where can i learn some more about it? I’ve always been intrigued about the history of formats and how and why they were created. I make use of them but sometimes i don’t know why… If you can, please send me a link (or even text me) about it.

[Angelo Lorenzo] “AVCHD is compressed using a high bitrate version of h.264 which makes it more suitable for editing than highly compressed web video which may be of the same compression scheme.”

Yes… I understand, but it’s still too laggy on my computer. Avi and Mpeg2 are way better.

[Angelo Lorenzo] “I would probably install the Avid Quicktime codecs https://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/download/Avid-QuickTime-Codecs-LE-... and export to Avid DNxHD (available in Premiere/Media encoder as a Quicktime video codec) as an intermediate file. It’s performance is similar to Apple ProRes.”

with this i would be creating a lighter copy of the AVCHD videos. Like Proxy editing? If that the case, wouldn’t it be better to save them to .Avi, edit and the replace footage? (sorry if i am not understanding what you meant and i’m just saying rubbish)

[Angelo Lorenzo] “Unless you know what you’re doing, then setting mpeg2 encoding settings to be edit friendly can be a daunting task.”

If i tell you the AVCHD properties would you be able to tell me what are the best mpeg2 properties to set in the export panel?

Thanks for the answer
