I haven't seen anyone explicitly mention this, so I'll do it. Or should it also be on main and backup?Īfter completion the master ProRes file will of course be archived along with DVD/BluRay files and original source AVCHD files.
The only ProResLT media will be on the main drive for editing. (Main system drive, backup, and redundant backup drive.) As I said, I do this anyway, but since I don't have the luxury of tape to fall back on, I'm gonna make sure that I have everything in triplicate before I edit.
Since I won't have tape, I guess that I'm gonna have to invest in a bunch of extra drives to backup right away from the card. But I also had the tapes for archival just in case. So when I get back to the office, I simply offload all of the files onto main and backup drives. Even though I have been shooting HDV tape, I have also been working with CF files via MRC1K.
My workflow already is similar to what's mentioned ere already. If so, good to know that there aren't any spanning issues between clip with the NX5U. Is anyone/everyone here working with NX5U/AX2000 footage? Hopefully, the upcoming version of FCP will address some of my issues, like maybe native AVCHD editing.

on the Mac side, but I don t want to drop the money right now to upgrade to Premiere, and also have to learn another new program in Premiere.

And I can't encode DVDSP files on the PC side.Īnd yes I do, have Adobe products such as Photoshop etc. There are some things that Vegas is better at, like audio, but surprisingly I have found that FCP has more tools for me to edit with. And I really have grown to like FCP over Vegas. But I prefer to keep my entire worflow on one operating system. But most of those apps are PC only, and I made the switch to MAC. How do you join spanned clips, as one file or place on the timeline and edit as desired.īefore anyone says it, I know that there are other programs like Edius, Premiere, Vegas etc. How do you capture footage into FCP, Log and Transfer or other encoder?ģ.

My onlu concern with Log and Transfer is that FCP might not join spanned clips properly.
I woudl use either ClipWrap to convert the files or FCP via Log and Transfer. FCP can't edit native AVCHD, thus the footage has to converted to an intermediate I-frame codec. When finished I export as QT ProRes LT file and encode as needed for DVD in Compressor.īut, since I'm switching to totally tapeless now, I will be recording in AVCHD. Change my sequence setting to render in ProResLT, then edit as needed. I import HDV footage from MRC1K (I have been recording both tape and CF card), rewrap using ClipWrap. I am about to upgrade my FX1s to Sony NX5Us.įCP can obviously handle native editing HDV footage and my workflow has been painless thus far. I have done research on this, but haven't really found any definitive answer yet, as PC users generally chime in to muddy the waters.
