5d mkii footage - will prores 422 HQ take significantly longer than prores 422 LT? Easy to switch out after?

I'm on a tight deadline and had no idea I had to transcode all my 5d footage.

Will it take a lot longer to transcode to prores 422 HQ rather than LT?

If it does take longer, how hard is it to switch out the LT footage later with HQ stuff? I feel like its something that sounds really easy but I might get error messages.. I need to choose quick.

Thanks

Just use ProRes 422 and no offline/online will be necessary.

The "unnecessary do-over" as I like to call it is pointless. You may save minutes and add hours...

Of course, both have a learning curve that will most likely affect your ability to meet that looming deadline. :)
