Thanks for this information Matt.

Have now transferred all the files to ProRes 422 – in total they take up just over 300gb!!! That is a lot of storage space – way too much.

Unfortunatly, I don’t have the ProRes LT option in ClipWrap. Although ClipWap has worked brilliantly for me – great sofware.

Thanks! Am doing that now…

All working fine – the only thing is the files being converted to .mov are huge. A 1min clip is 2gb.

Is this normal? (Same clip is 214mb as a .MTS file)

Thank you very much Dave.

Will use ClipWrap as you advice – am using the trial version as a tester to make sure it works and it seems fine.

Which ‘Output Format’ do you recommend I use?

The final film will be uploaded to youtube.

Thanks for the advice.

Have decided to use Log and Transfer. However, when I get to 11:30min (import) part of your video the .MTS files come up in light gray so I can not click on them. Do you know how to overcome this?

Many thanks.

Hi Matt

Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunatly, I don’t have the camera now, only the MTS files. It does lose considerable quality when I transfer from mp4 to mov.

Hoping to find another way…

I have never used Media Manager before and would not know where to start. Can you please give me a brief explanation of how I could use this to change existing edited footage to new quicktime format?

Thanks.

Hi Chris

Thanks for the advice. Watched the tutorial you recommended and learnt plenty.

So what I did to test is export one clip using compressor, made in into a quick time file, imported it back into fcp and then into the timeline and it works fine, no staggering. My plan is to do this with all the footage.

However, how do I make all the footage which I have spent days editing (under the mpeg4 format) on the timeline re-connect with the new quicktime files? Is this actually possible?

Thanks.

Forgot to mention it was shot in MPEG4. Thanks.
