Re: XD Cam workflow

[Salvatore Interlandi] "I have a MAC book, I'm assuming I need Clip Browser2 to do that, but My Mac is not an Intel.) "

MacBook and MacBookPro are Intel.
iBook and PowerBook are PPC.

Clip Browser only runs on Intel
XDCAM Transfer Tool runs on both PPC and Intel.

[Salvatore Interlandi] "I would like to edit in HD, intraframe with a 4:2:2 color space.
What is the best and most efficient way to do that?
Is it by transferring footage to pro res? do I lose anything by doing that?"

I edit in XDCAM EX but set sequence renders to Pro Res.
You should not be able to see the loss going to Pro Res in most cases and your graphic renders may hold up better.

Compressor . . . you must have a LOT of time on your hands to do that . . . ESPECIALLY if you're not on Intel.

Just edit native and set sequence renders to Pro Res.
Why don't you want to do that?

Maybe if you had AJA IO you could go to Pre Res real time (on Intel).
