Thanks Dave…
good info.
when you say “So ProRes 422 isn’t the only option. It’s just the best option.” …that’s not really true because it depends on the intended use. Since I won’t be doing any color correction and it’s a real basic edit…I could get away with a much smaller file sies, like LT and Proxy (which, means I’ll need to actually open up that new fcp version 7 that is sitting on my hard drive 🙂 – good to know, btw, Steve, thanks).
I think I’ll be using mpeg streamclip instead of the log & transfer processs because I don’t need all that high res stuff – just basic, nice looking HD will be just fine for me…
Plus the log & transfer conversion time is really bogging things down. It’s actually taking longer than if I was to injest the tape like the good/bad ole days…
I’m gonna need ten new hard drives at this rate :(…
thanks for your info, greatly appreciated.
