oh scratch that. I see I had the timeline in Playback video quality Dynamic… if I change it to High, then I can render… I guess this should be the last step in my process.

“Try rendering those clips first. It’s doing an RT downconvert which is going to look dodgy (but it’s in real time!)”
how would I render it? It doesn’t have a red render bar on top. When I hit apple R, it doesnt do anything.

The original source files didn’t come from tape, it came from a type of memory card (revPro) so I couldn’t really choose to bring it in as SD…. Are you saying I would need to individually re-export all my footage as ProResHQ SD? Isn’t the point of having this open timeline feature to be able to mix and match footage, codecs, HD/SD, etc without having to conform all the footage?

well to be honest, we’re shooting next week. I’ve only done tests so far, but the tests looked great and after you transcode the footage your left with a quicktime either in cineform/2k/4k or prores HQ so I don’t see a reason why the post process wouldn’t go smoothly; but of course that doesn’t mean something won’t pop up. I can tell you this for sure:
1. the footage looks GREAT
2. the media is a 2:1 or even 3:1 transcoding process (for every 1 minute you shoot, it can take 2 – 3 minutes to transcode it to quicktime)
3. the quicktime is a significantly larger file than the files the JPEG 2000.
4. if i think of anything i’ll add it.I hope I was a help… I know the camera we are using is one of like 15, I’m not sure if this is the only camera that uses JPEG 2000, maybe someone else can chime in on that.

I’m not exactly a pro at FCP, but I’ve recently had to use footage from a camcorder Grass Valley just put out called the infinity. It was recorded with a JPEG 2000 codec. The camera came with something called a rev pro reader (it’s a tapeless camera and records onto something that looks like a mini disk), which I used to change the file to either a cineform codec (HD/2k/4k) or ProResHQ… Once again I’m not sure if this is exactly what you are talking about, but thought I’d offer what I knew 🙂

great thread. Thanks.

i do believe animation is 10 bit, but everyone has their preferences 🙂
-
it prompts you only on the first clip you add to the sequence. after that, footage with other codecs, image sizes, etc are matched to that sequence.
-
in my job i edit a lot of footage that goes to designers that use after effects and then they send it back to me so i can insert it into projects. they always want their footage in an animation codec.

The VTrack has 8 drives in it… 6TB out of 12TB… I tried a few different sequences and projects so it does seem to be a hardware problem. That’s all I needed to know, I’ll have the tech guy come in. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something stupid or had an incorrect setting. Thanks a ton.
