Thanx, Brent! Yup, that is what I’ll do.
I grade it for HD output and then make a version where I tweak up the blacks a noth.

Have a great day,

So, would following be a possible workflow;
I grade the whole show for HD, output then the final HD file, and then – before down conversion to SD – take the whole file and brighten that up a notch?
What you say?

Hi Shane, I’m totally aware of that. But since I got really good in eye balling, when it’s about PAL SD footage, I just know that it comes of lighter than in computer. I just wanted to know, if in general, it’s the other way around with 5D footage, that it comes off darker.

Thanx for your input. You know anything about the MacPro Line in the future?
Right now the iMac is a strong beast, unless they would create a serious upgrade for the MacPro.
Is there anything coming in the near future?

Hi Stephen,

this is what I did now:
I tracked the shot – had to do it with multiple track point and Null Layers,
created a solid with a heavy feathered mask, attached it to the Nulls and voila.
It still is not really great, but it looks far better than my initial FCP solution.

Thanx a lot!

Hi Stephen,

thanx, I will try that.
Hopefully it’ll look better than my version 🙂

Well, the field issue wasn’t a part of the discussion, since all my HD material was progressive and so O wanted the SD to be as well. First of all why you want to change the field order? As far as I know if your HD is upper first, you can leave that also for SD. Besides, why not creating first a progressive from the Upper field first anyhow, since to my taste progressive always looks better.

Here a short compilation:

1. Select all you Media Files in the Project’s Browser Window. Right click -> Open Media Manager.
2. Choose “Re-compress” (Here select Apple ProRes Proxy). Choose a new location (create folder for this) – ideally not the same HD than your Hi Q ProRes files. And save new Proxy version as seperate Project (give it e.g. your previous project name plus “Proxy”. And then press ok and let the computer re-compress all your files to Proxy size.
3.Now, you can open the new Proxy Project, do all you editing. When you are finished. You select all your clips again, then right click “Reconnect Media” and reconnect it to your original HD HiQ Files.

C’est tout! You are done.

Sascha
