Hmm…ok. Thnx for the reply. I have betaSP tapes that I digitized in ApplePro Rez, so I edited with the same codec…all good there. I am finished with the edit and now I need the highest resolution that I can get to master to a betaSP tape. I have figured out that in order to digitize only the clips on the limeline and not the rest of what I digitized in the bins I had to create another timeline with off-line clips (using media manager). However, I tried several different things in the process so I’m not sure which step was needed or as you put “wasted”.
any help would be greatly appreciated
