FEATURE FILM ON HDV
by Rajarshi Basu (Rajarshi) on Jan 18, 2008 at 4:28:51 pm

Hi,

I am going to be editing a feature lenghth film on Final Cut Pro. HDV 1080p.

The choice for CC is AFX and Color.

But I have to give the output on uncompressed QT files. In that case is it better that I do CC in AFX...16bpc, and render out the files from there directly ?

OR

Will I render it out from FCP, using Color ?? Does FCP support 16bpc render outs ??

In any case there will be res loss. I just want to figure out which one will have the minimum loss.

Thanks

Raj

I'd be tempted to capture in FCP using ProRes 422. I think you'd get a lot less image degredation, especially if you have a lot of effects work to do, including trips to and from AE, Motion, Color, etc.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

1. Is ProRes 422 automatic ?Or will I get an option in my capture settings ? Because I was considering digitizing native 1080p.

2. My film has no effects. All I have to do is edit and color correct.

I think i shall use Color on this one.

Thanks
Raj

If you're planning on using Color, ask in a Color forum if there's anything you should know before proceeding. It's a quirky app.
