Re: best downsampling workflow from prores422 to SD - 12 years ago
Good question, Mr. Mok. In a perfect world I would do just that; I do now see the elegance of the simple "current settings" expo function from FCP. I am not using it in this case, or in most cases, because I have only one FCP workstation, and several projects live with deadlines ticking: that is just to say that most of the time I can't afford to have FCP tied up and be unable to contiby adhocproduction - Café LA

Hi Derek and Ben, Just an update on the issue you guys were advising me about a few weeks ago - here's what I am doing, you guys tell me what you think. OK, so in order to avoid the time-killer of transcoding all clips to SD up front, I am now using a customized 720x480/anamorphic pixel/ProRes codec sequence. This allows me to pull in and edit both my DV NTSC anamorphic AND my 1080i ProRes422 cby adhocproduction - Café LA

> Bit of a problem when using an iMac... Yeah, my iMac is a limited tool, but it is what I have to work with, for now. I am digging the advice to go to using "expo QT movie" to get a flattened ProRes SD .mov, and then doing whatever end-target conversions/transcodes using that master.

Excellent info fellows! Just what I was hoping for. >What Mac/FCP/RAID setup are you using? Well, I am working on an iMac with a fw800 external set as my scratch. I work for a small-town city government in Iowa, so I actually brought the first (and still only) Mac onto the premises. I send my exports off to a NAS array that is raid5, but that is beside the point here. I am editing in DVby adhocproduction - Café LA
best downsampling workflow from prores422 to SD - 13 years ago
Hi all, So I run a little TV station (PEG), and my ultimate target is always SD anamorphic, which I then letterbox for broadcast. But I just got these sweet Canon xf300s, and FCP makes prores422 from the .mxf files they put out. I have been taking these prores422 files into compressor and transcoding/downsampling to DV NTSC anamorphic (since this is my default sequence setting in FCP). This iby adhocproduction - Café LA
