Thanks for that link!
Question though from a FCP 7 based post house perspective looking towards the future as far as our software horizon goes with FCP X being what it currently is.
Is it possible to capture from tape at a lower resolution and on the back end only capturing what was actually used in the show plus some handles in HD, perhaps using the Batch List function?
ie. using FCP 7 media manager to create an “offline” sequence of a locked show at HD resolution and batch capturing from there in HD.
Capturing the hundreds of hours of tape based material we go through for all our shows currently in post production to then compress into proxy files (and then starting the edit) is not an option given the space/time required for those compressions, even with our 150tb XSAN.
