Re: Offline a Multicam Edit, is it possible?

Quick answer: You're on the right track.

Long answer: Typically, people use Off-line RT to solve either storage or bandwidth issues. In our case, it's both. So, we never keep the high rez media on the drives long enough to do anything but transcode it to Off-line RT. From your post, it sounds like you're doing that step in FCP. It's much easier and faster to use Compressor to do that step. Read up on how that works. Hint: If you have multiple computers connected to a network, compressor can take advantage of this "cluster" and using distributed rendering
chomp through mountains of media in minutes. That's how we do it.

Back to your situation: If you have the space on your drives, then there's no harm in keeping the high rez media available. I'd suggest doing an experiment with a couple of "test" clips to experiment with how media manager and reconnecting works.

Good luck.

Mark
