whats the point in coming on creative cow just to be a pompus jerk. Try and help someone every once in a while. You dont know what this person needs are, whether they need the entire tape or broken up in clips. I hope you feel better about youself thinking your a real top of the line pompus editor. get over it….

is there an easy way to capture xdcam ex (ex1/3) footage in proRes? i was just looking in the xdcam transfer utility and it doesn’t seem like there is a way to change codec while importing. Can you do this in the log and transfer?? or is it something ill have to batch re-render in mpeg streamclip or compressor??

[Nayim Saati]

Oh did you mean you convert it to animation before AE or out of AE?

[Nayim Saati]

but if i export using animation codec when i drop it into my sequence wont i have to re-render it back to xdcam anyways???

[Nayim Saati]

thanks for the explanation and sorry for wasting your time.. ill check the manual first!

[Nayim Saati]
