Thanks guys. Follow-up question: Is there a guide on CreativeCow (or elsewhere) with recommended workflows from EX-1 (or HVX) to FCP? Because a few fellow Bay Area editors have told me to ingest everything at ProRes 422 (HQ), but now I’m hearing that’s a waste of drive space, and makes no difference. These six hours of XDCAM footage are the beginning of a documentary, with many hours of footage to come, and I think it would be smart to consult guidelines so I start out right. But since Sony and Panasonic and Apple are all separate companies, it’s tricky to know where to turn. Any leads?
