Re: Best Practice For Getting Footage From Sony EX1 to Shake

I have not worked with EX footage (other than in an edit I did at the start of last year), but if you have FCP you can export to one of the apple pro intermediate codecs (the EX1 has the ability to output 10bit through its SDI port but I believe what is recorded on its card media is just 8bit) or animation codec (if either of these gives you grief, try using a tif image sequence). Both animation codec quicktimes and tif sequences will retain all the detail of the original files (they'll just take up more room on your drives) as they are lossless codecs (animation is limited in that it only supports 8bit, but that doesn't matter for your purposes).

Goodluck,

andrew
