[tyler Granlund] "How do you deliver masters? Impossible to believe all clients are accepting digital deliveries, unless you are extraordinarily lucky. "
I have to deliver dailies and content to HDSR regularly.
No one I work with has deliver a camera tape to me since Transformers DOM in 2010 and that was the first time in over a year.
Being that I deliver to HDSR tape, I have not ever used FCP to lay to back to tape as the colorspace and gamma issues in FCP7 / SL were pitiful.
I have used Aja's VTRX app to capture as DPX sequences and return that back to the deck for Masters, so my process has always had a disconnect as you mention.
