No there’s no added elements, just a straight conversion. Thank you, could not figure out if interframe-to-interframe loses anything in a conversion.

I’d definitely take care of all of that for them usually, but they are on the road.
Thanks for the confirmation that no benefit is to be derived from an intra-frame interim step.

Sorry! I forgot to mention the client is in Europe in a place with very limited access to internet bandwidth, on a very tight time frame and without local expertise. But they do have a Mac with FCP7.

I used Migration Assistant to transfer my entire 2010 Macbook Pro into my brand new Retina Macbook Pro, including FCP 7 which works fine and renders faster in the new machine. Other than reinstalling from the app disks, Migration Assistant may be the only practical method.

Export it as its current format into a self-contained movie, then quit FCP, then use 3rd party software (Apple’s Compressor or MPEG Streamclip etc.) to convert to h264.

Transcode clips to ProRes. Convert audio to AIFF 48/16. Make a new sequence by placing PR video clip on fresh one and conforming it to match. Try syncing again.

I didn’t find direct info that Resolve can start with the Lumix GH3’s mp4 mov files; in the articles and posts I found most users start with raw and higher-end acquisition clips. Anyway, Resolve Lite is free so I’ll try it!
These days with Compressor, I throw in batches of 50-75 clips at a time. The latest version, plus a new MBPRO w/ 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 and 2 external USB3 RAID-0, I have happily not experienced the unacceptable freezing and crashing that plagued me on the previous system.

Thank you! Great info!

I did test both and the difference is not detectable on the desktop system w/ external monitor. It’s something that might be an issue down the pipeline of post-production and with larger display exhibition.
Common sense says that higher bitrate is better, so if slo-mo viewing in-camera is not a demand on site I’m concluding the professional choice is shoot at 59.94 and have the inherent quality in the workflow.
