i tried various things and read up about this, its weird, converting the files to xdcam makes them smaller but converting them to apple pro res 422 (hq) does tripple their size. (funny that people reccomend even doing this…)
however, is apple pro res 422 hq the best setting to use then? What do you personally convert the files into (keeping in mind HD)?
Is it ok if in FCP the pixelformat of the file (and sequence) states ‘square’ rather than HD (1440×1080)? I guess I can work with this for now and then export it to HD?!
sorry for all these silly questions…. and many thanks for the help!!
