Great info guys! Thanks so much.

Looking into the future, USB 3 is going to be pretty exciting stuff. Hopefully those will be made PCI/34 too.

I found it for 80 bucks.. not too bad.

Hi,

So now I am thinking that I need to ADD the overage from the 23.98 (5 seconds & some frames) to the 23.98 Non-Drop Timeline, get it to hit 88 on a 59.94 Drop Frame tape perfectly.

thx!

Hi Stephan,

Actually, that’s a quote from the wikipedia.. And I swear I remembered the same appearing in Apples White Pages a while back.. Guess they’re changing the rules. : ) sorry bout that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prores_422

As far as Online/Offline.. I guess it just depends on the source. IMHO, a final delivery online should be as good as the original source as possible, unless your doing cable TV where anything goes as long as it “looks good enough”, even if was shot on a phone camera.

But, for example…
If you were working on a large budget historical documentary for PBS, and your final Master is going to be used for Archival & Duplication purposes.. And your original source is 35mm film, telecined to HDSR 4:4:4 (or even scanned at 2K) and someone is expecting to be delivered a HDSR 4:4:4 Master. I personally would not try to pass off picture in a ProRes codec laid off to HDCAM tape as MY final delivery and “Online Archival Master”.

Yes, I realize that Matt stated that his show was shot in HDCam 1080i.. However, he did not say what PBS is asking for as far as final delivery tape format. Maybe they want a DVCPro HD Tape.. who knows? Maybe Matt will tell us..?

But again, I say… one should have the client check directly with the people they are delivering to, and ask for detailed guideline of exactly what they are expecting. Of which, I bet PBS probably has one that’s “book-sized”.

thx,
Chris

Hi Matt,

https://images.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/white_papers/L342568A_ProRes_WP.pdf

“ProRes is an intermediate or “off line” codec , which means it is intended for use during video editing, and not intended or practical for end user viewing. The benefit of an intermediate codec is that it retains higher quality than end user codecs while still requiring much less expensive disk systems compared to uncompressed video.”

PBS standards are notoriously very strict, I would contact them directly and inquire as to what exactly they need. I imagine they will want an uncompressed online.

Cheers,
Chris
