Re: Targa Import

Yes, this is all true.

I've confirmed that I will be delivering Animation Quicktimes to the DVD house. This was always going to be a time-consuming export stage at the end of this project for me, so I was prepared.

Also, the decision to export Targa sequences for color correction was based on quality. We used an AVID Nitris for color correction, and targa sequences were the most "raw" means for transferring media to that system. Then, coming back out of the Nitris, it made sense to make new targa sequences so that we always had the most un-affected image as our master master.

What then surprised me was that while FCP can export to targa sequence it can't import it back. So I have to do this extra stage of importing the image sequence into Quicktime, exporting a quicktime, then using that in FCP to lay in the final audio elements, and then exporting back out to Animation.

All this would be one thing if this were a 30 second spot, but it's a serious hassle with a two hour project broken down into 22 segments. More progress bars than you can shake a stick at.

The woes of high quality HD and poor planning...
