Aloha
I have about 1000 clips I need to edit / color correct and reencode to Photo-jpeg. The original clips are from a sony ex3 - mpeg-2. In the past I would edit/correct and then export each clip using prores codec. I would then batch export using compressor to Photo-jpeg.
I understand that I can just export to photo-jpeg using fcp - the reason I created a prores master was incase I needed to re-encode to a different format - the editing / color correction would be already done.
My question is there a better way to do this? Do I risk losing quality using the above process? IE - MPEG2 to PRORES to PhotoJpeg. I always feel that after you add a second encoding you lose quality.
Thanks
