[Francois Stark] “Log-and-transfer would normally transcode incoming footage into Apple Prores.”
I use the XDCAM transfer import function…which does NOT transcode, but wraps the video in a different container than the native MXF format from the disc. I can shoot in 3 formats on the disc – 422 50 / 420 HQ / and 420 SP. The 422 50 comes in with an “Apple XDCAM HD codec” but the 420 SP comes in with that HDV codec.
I need to figure out how to come off the xdcam disc with a less compressed codec, but there aren’t any options coming through XDCAM transfer.
