Re: HDV to Pro Res benefits?

[Otis Foramer] "1. Can I do this conversion (HDV-Pro Res) straight from the firewire port of a HDV deck, i.e. I don't need a third party card or IO device?"

Yes, read Chris Poisson's tutorial on how to do this right here on the Cow.

[Otis Foramer] "2. What are the benefits of this format over HDV, should I opt for the 1920x1080 HQ (I presume this means high quality?) obviously it takes up more drive space, would the footage run from a Lacie 1TB firewire 800?"

HDV is a terrible format for editing as the image quality falls apart very quickly during color correction, graphics, etc... Also, it requires a lot of rendering. Personally, we convert all HDV to DVCPro HD as the file sizes are smaller and we have found zero benefit of ProRes vs. DVCPro HD.


[Otis Foramer] "3. I have a Macbook Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and a Dual 2GHz G5 with 2 Gb Ram (FCP 6). Ideally I'd rather use the G5 to do the edit is it possible to use the Pro Res codec with this machine running Tiger?"

Yes, with the proper hardware, though I don't think you can do the realtime capture of HDV to ProRes with this machine. You'll have to consult Chris' tutorial for that.
