Hi,

Ive been trying to find out exactly what the benefits are of ingesting footage as proxy rather than downcoverting the footage, is it the same thing?

Also can you only make a proxy file from tapeless formats? im under the impression that with cards a proxy file is created alongside the full res footage, therefore its quick to ingest (rather than downconverting) is this all totally wrong?

Many Thanks

Hollie

Well thats interesting. You say the frames still exist but if they have been dropped, how do you retrieve them?

Also I work with pal i think, english format? Also whats the visual differnce between ntsc (29.9fps) and pal (25fps), does ntsc provide a clearer picture?

Thanks very much for this information.
