Chris, It seems to me sequences really start to bloat a project. The solution I came up with is to create a new project called “…Project Archives” and as I accumulate unneeded sequences that I still want to hang on to; I open the “Project Archive” project and copy over the unneeded sequences to it. Then delete them out of my working project. This way it is much faster to load and less cumbersome.

Any tips in dealing with analog glitches?

If you are laying back to DVCAM then you are delivering 720×480. DV is by definition 720×480 not 486. Beta, D-Beta are 486. The uncompressed 720×486 is a completely absurd middle step. Shoot DV, capture DV, output DV. Simple, cheap, easy. Don’t make it unnecessarily complicated.

Lucas, there is really no reason in hell to convert DV to uncompressed. Some possible reasons are if you are doing a lot of compositing, CC work, green screen. But even then I don’t think it is worth the hassle, the storage space, the extra render times….
What do you deliver on? What kind of show is it? Cuts only? Heavy graphics? That is a big factor in figuring out your best workflow.

The actual db levels of the clips has been lowered?

Thanks everyone. I will give it a go once I get into the studio tomorrow.

I only wish!!! Literally without exagerating the Qts are every format I can think of. MJPEG, DV, ProRess, a Blackmagic codec, etc. etc.
Tell me if this is idiotic or genius. I have cut in all the “Master” QTs into the offline cut. The cut is now locked and I am moving onto the online. I was thinking of taking the offline cut, duplicating the sequence, deleting everything except the QT archival material, laying that out to Beta, and then re-capturing from that Beta the clips and use the Kona to do the uprezz.

Thanks Shane, I am about to dive head first into doing a whole lot of this. I have a lot of archival material that are Qts that I need to get to 1080i. I am debating whether to use Compressor or lay out all my SD QTs in a sequence and put to Beta tape; then recapture using the Kona 3 to do the uprezz. If you had roughly 150 QT files to upconvert what would you do?

Oh…so that’s what they mean by putting “volume” on a volume knob. Ok, I get the moron of the day award.

Ok. In my opinion that is really asinine. I see it as if I go down to Home Depot and buy a hammer and Home Depot says that I can only use that hammer when working on the house that I own. If I am a carpenter I can’t take that hammer and work on someone else’s home. Even though I bought the hammer in full. I know I agreed to the EULA voluntarily and will abide by it; but I still think it is ridiculous.
