Re: Sucess story for a change

[walter biscardi] "HDV we never use natively so I don't know. But definitely not a recommended codec for Color. "

I would agree with Walter completely. We are an HDV & XDCAM shop and I have never many seen issues with XDCAM and Color.

HDV... This is a terrible creature that reared its ugly head at the request of Sony to get out another cheap codec. Working with this monster in FCP is never fun.

I do want to give you a word of warning about HDV-ProRes Capture. This is a great concept BUT when you do this, you video remains in the 1440x1080 aspect. It marries well with XDCAM HD 1440x1080 but not so well with other full res codecs. On top of that... your render times will be terrible.

I found it extremely ironic that Apple created a full res codec and then created a way to capture HDV into it but leaving the aspect alone. This creates a problem with ProRes because its aspect is wrong for the codec.

Just a word of caution...
