-We have a transfer drive over the internet(being in the same building) so i think that might solve a few of the problems.
-I did a 30 second intro(color correction) givin to me in h264(hd1920x1080) but when I started correcting the footage it completly fell apart with banding and grain especially in the darks. (I exported in a Tiff secquence)
I tried the Quicktime PNG method and it worked really well and the footage held up after color correction. The only problem was there seemed to be extreme render times in FCP output to be given to me.
I don’t think it would be a big deal for a 30 second spot. but for anything longer it would be a big issue.
So the big question is what would be the best output from FCP to AE
then from AE to FCP?I came to this conclusion but don’t no if it is correct.
1st best – Quicktime Animation (biggest files, longest time, best quailty and color depth)
2nd best – ProRes 422(HQ)[hq stands for highquailty?](havn’t tried this yet)
3rd best – Quicktime PNG (smaller files than animation still seems to have really long times)Is there a way to color correct footage in a streamlined workflow?? (still having lots of color depth to work with and not huge render and transfer times between computers.)???
What workflow would you use for a 20 min spot?
What workflow would you use for a 30 second spot?
Thanks a bunch

If you could suggest both workflows that would be very helpful because:
(on some episodes)I’m doing Color Correction & effects work for a 30 second spot.
(on other episodes) I’m doing 20 min+ of color correction.
Thx

Hey Dave,
My editors are working in XDCam Ex in final Cut when they export it as EXfootage it won’t import into AE. What would be the best workflow between FinalCut Studio2(Mac) into After EffectsCS3(PC).
Thanks a bunch.
