thanks Shane – i did go to this page but didn’t realise I would have to install all of them -ouch, I was hoping for a one stop install solution – i had better get going.

quick question, for AMA linking then transcoding the media from other sources, would you say Source Scaling Half – would be an okay setting for a 1920x108o delivery – material orginally shot on 4K and 2K. I seem to suddenly have e a lot of cameras to deal with, its gonna be a long night

thanks so much for all your help, i really appreciate it.

one last question i should have added, AMA Source Scaling Quality i was thinking of selecting full. but seeing as its 1920×1080 delivery would half (best quality) be better?

thanks

Hey Michael, they have just filmed everything and it sounds very chaotic – oh no – they have said the Fs7 was filmed at 2.7K and drone footage at 3K. sounds odd, but i’ll see when it arrives later. Looks like a long night of transcoding etc.

So it looks like i should transcode to 185MXF – that looks like it would make most sense. would i need to select ‘apply source transformations?

They said that they shot LOG without a Lut. we’ll be going in to a proper grading suite for this one. So i’ll export a 185MXF video mix down – as a same as source QT.

Thanks Michael, so i have just found out that they have added another camera to the mix the Canon Fs7 – shot at 2K, but delivery is still just 1920×1080.

My question is, should i AMA link and Consolidate, like with the C300 footage?or should i treat this footage differently

thanks

[Zoe Westley]

got it thanks.

when i select Video Mixdown, there isn’t a DNxHD 220 option on this system, so i was going to choose DNxHD 185, would that be okay or should i select 1:1 MXF.

The rushes are arriving on drive tonight so i am just doing tests.

thanks os much

Thanks Michael, delivery is meant to be 1920×1080. However if they do shoot at 2K they may change their mind about delivery and opt for 2K -not sure yet. I would still need to edit at 1:1 as we have no time to conform on this project

Hi Shane/Michael

I have one last question, there is a possibility that they will be shooting 2K now, and shipping a drive, not uploading, would the workflow be the same? ie: Link to Ama then Consolidate?

thanks

i got the H264 because i was under the impression that they could set the camera to H264 or Mpeg video codecs. Looks like i am wrong. either way it seems like straight forward workflow

thanks Shane. i’ve just tested this avid AMA linking to some QTs I have, and they seem to play okay, and it doesn’t seem sluggish,, so should be a good workflow. out of interest would i have to transcode, could i just AMA link and edit from there? thanks for the tip.

Sorry it was a long day yesterday i misread DNxHD 220, yes indeed that is super quality. Thank you. will do that.

Great thanks Michael, I dont know where i got H264 from. But that all sounds great.

thanks
