Smoke & FCP....
by Daniel Net (Dannyboyfl) on May 6, 2008 at 11:47:47 am

I’m meeting with a couple of sales guys in a couple of day about buying a couple of smoke machines to go into our FCP work flow. I want to use them to finish our shows. The one main question that I think I will have is.... Will smoke take my ProRess (HQ) 422 files. All of our cameras that we shot on are the Sony F700 and F350 XDCAM HDs. We ingest them using that Sony Transfer software... From what I have been told the XDCAM stuff will go straight into smoke, no re digitizing required. We do have a large library of up converted Digibeta tapes and HDCAM tapes all using the ProRess (HQ) 422 Codec.

I don’t have the storage right now to support uncompressed HD, and I don’t mined the quality of the ProRess. I just have the time right now to change out our san.

The next part to my question is... On the work flow, would I just use the smoke machine to burn off my master tapes? Or dump out a Quicktime file and use a FCP station... If it was burning off a tape using a FCP station then what codec would I use... Uncompressed, ProRess??? I know that I probable shouldn’t be taking about compressing my final from smoke, but I’m thinking about data archiving and backups...


Thanx for any thoughts....

dan.
