Thank you, gentlemen.
hehe… Good one, Jeremy (I agree, but ours is not to question why…).
Zak: I’m going to try it both ways. The DP’s understanding (and he’s pretty good at this stuff) is that the Media Encoder does NOT use the regular QT engine, but a comparison (using Shake to look closely) thru both engines might be revealing, but even if there IS a difference, how would one know which is “better”?
I’ll try to fake a card-like structure, but if the files are already in ProRes, will the L&T function try to re-convert or just pass it thru? Stay tuned…
