Thanks Neil! That’s exactly how I understood it to work, and from what I recall is how the pre-Studio versions of FCP upgrades worked as well, but I wanted to be sure. I have found a couple places with upgrades and new, but they’re few and far between. Thanks for your input.

Thanks Walter!

You don’t want to work in HDV for a project that is going out to HDCAM. ProRes at the very least, Uncompressed if you want the best.

I’m unfamiliar with ProRes. Uncompressed 10-bit and 8-bit are both settings I’m finding, though I’ve never worked in them. Buying a $40K-$100K deck is out of the question. The output process would be: I would output to the HD deck noted above (Sony HVR-M25AU) and then send that tape to our dubhouse to be converted to the HDCAM format to meet the specs above. I would guess that laying off to the HDV deck is going to compress the video to HDV at that point anyway correct, so would you still want to edit in Uncompressed or ProRes format?

Thanks
