Re: Working with efx offline and online

Hello
I work with several editors/animators/motion graphics designers in town and have a great deal of trouble getting full HD delivered because of lack of storage on the supplier's part. I know it can get expensive, but if they want the business they are going to have to step up and buy more storage for HD. In order to work with HD Cam sources they have to be able to store them. We would loan a machine to a supplier if they needed it badly. I think I would tell my suppliers I will have to find someone else for the project (and future projects) if they can't step up. They can uprez to full HD within their systems to do the work.

I can take delivery on a DVD-RAM disk or several CDs with a tif sequence at full HD resolution (1920x1080@72dpi) but suppliers often don't have enough storage to create such a sequence, even if it is only :10. How they get it that way is up to them. HD Cam is our acquistion format but we output to D5.
