I’ve been researching this heavily, but so far have only found external GPU’s for macbook pros.
Can you suggest a brand?I’m on an iMac with thunderbolt 2.

Noah,
That is what I thought.
I picked the flow background generator and as you select it, it says 720P. When I added it to the timeline it remained the same.
Same thing with the lower thirds. I used sports “left”As soon as I created a compound clip it made it all 720.
I hope I can salvage the project, because the size is the only problem.

The example was from a previous shoot done by another producer.
I get a fresh shot at it in a new shoot. The key from before actually worked okay. There was no green in the lens. The issue is the width of his glasses and the curvature/thickness of his lenses. They look weird like his face is cut off.
I’m thinking of shooting him looking straight ahead.
He needs to look at a prompter so no lenses won’t work.
I could ask him to use a smaller frame.

Great!
How?

Going back to me using the term silly. I am very concerned that I could use an inexpensive prosumer conversion software that could bite me down the road in a lengthy video production.
Many of the sites where I have found some of these products look similar and I wonder if it is the same program marketed under different names.I think FCPX uses compressor when it ingests media and transcodes.
Clipwrap looks interesting because it only rewraps the file in a new container, but the downside is that it retains h.264 and I want to edit in prores.
I may bite the bullet and get sorenson squeeze to be certain I’m giving my client the best possible product.

OK sorry, I was trying to get a post off when the phone rang.
When I said silly, I meant they did not look like professional level software but consumer level.
I’ve used Sorenson Squeeze at my old job which I do consider professional. I don’t need all their features right now,
Wondershare, editready, clipwrap are some I’m not sure of.
I have footage from a Canon C100 shot in AVCHD and have heard that the Canon version of AVCHD is different than the others.
And you are right, I need to decompress the AVCHD to prores.
I have Apple compressor and Adobe Media Encoder and Wondershare. Are they all equal in terms of quality. I don’t care about speed.
Thanks!

That makes sense which is why I was asking for strategies using keywords, roles, tags etc.
I was hoping to find some industry standards rather than create my own.

Why one library versus one each for each animal segment?
I’m not questioning, just wondering.

The length is about 60 minutes. only one day of production is done. There are tons of graphics both still and animated. Quite a bit of sound effects. Much research, writing and purchased footage.
Export to protools and back. Heavy editing of the outdoor scenes to make it flow. A fair amount of collaboration.I may use roles, favorites, keywords more heavily than I need, but I want to develop a habit of using them and don’t mind spending a little extra time on this project.

I’ve done several shorter projects on it. I’ve done quite a bit of Lynda.com training also.
What I’m looking for is organizational workflow and strategies from more experienced users which training rarely gives you.
