Import settings if final product is for the web only?Posted by xavpil
The footage was shot in HD on an HMC150 (1080i)
What settings would be best if: 1) The final spots will go on the internet only: I am thinking Intermediate Codec 2) Internet only, but you know clients... they might later on tell me they also want to show on dvd for presentations: Thinking Prores LT?....

Apple Intermediate Codec? Why would you use that unless you're still running FCP5? ProRes made that very much obsolete. iMovie still uses it, but iMovie ain't what I call professional. > 2) Internet only, but you know clients... they might later on tell me they also want to show on > dvd for presentations: > Thinking Prores LT?.... I'm always going to vote for at least ProRes 422, unless you have storage-space or bandwidth issues. The better the codec on first transcoding, the better the final product will look. If you convert the whole batch to something inferior and then get unhappy later, that's a lot more work and wasted time down the road. www.derekmok.com
Bandwith is an issue as I might have to do 2 cam multiclips...
Got a bad experience a few weeks ago with on a music video, but it was 6 cam... So maybe my MPB can handle the 2 cam 422 Prores codec Derek, while I have you around, what do you think of my 17" MBP set up: 2.66Ghz Intel Core2 Duo Memory 4Gb 1067Mhz DDR3 Can FCP benefit of more than 4Gb? No, right... 32bit...
