I always shoot 1080 24p. Never had any issues editing.

You have to go to File, Log and Transfer. Pick the folder with your footage and import it that way.

Yea, you just drag and drop the ENTIRE contents of the sd card making sure you all associated files and not just the .mts files. That is essentially your “tape”. If you filled up a 32GB card your “tape” archive would be 32GB. If you only took up 7GB on the 32GB card then your “tape” would only be 7GB. Now transferring that 7GB “tape” into FCP with to transcode to ProRes 422 codec really blows up your file size.

For instance a video I shot last week, my “tape” was 3.26GB. It was a total of 17 minutes worth of footage. After I transcoded to ProRes my Quicktime Clips added up to 14.58GB for 17 minutes of footage. I was shooting on the highest quality 1080p.

Thats why I say transcode to ProRes, edit, then dump the transcoded files and only keep the smaller “tape”

You can archive on dvd or blue ray as long as your “tape” fits on it. If your does not want to log and transfer the files off the sd card you give them, you can have them buy an external hard drive and you cant transcode the file to quicktime for them. And yes, the files are biggins.

That is A LOT of hard drive space. To archive I usually just keep a high quality output of my final project as a quicktime file and a backup of the raw files strait off the sd card or my memory module. After Im finished editing, I trash the project files, because they are so LARGE. If I need to do a recut sometime in the future you can just log and transfer again.
