Hi All,
I know there is TONS of information out there on workflows for the V1U and FCS2, but I've read so much of it at this point and heard so many different points of view that I'm just at a loss now:-(
I have a project I shot on the V1U, 24p, Cinema Picture Profile.
I'm editing with FCS2 6.0.4, on a MacPro 2x3 Dual Core with 4GB memory and a HD Cinema Display.
I captured in FCS 6.0.4 with these settings:
Sequence: HDV - 1080i60
Capture: HDV
Device Control: HDV Firewire
I know from looking at my footage (which unfortunately I've already edited...don't ask my why I went ahead and did this, knowing it looked crummy) that these are the wrong settings. The quality in general is terrible, and the aliasing is absolutely HORRIBLE.
From reading this: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/sony-hvr-v1-hdr-fx7/107984-24p-capture-comes-fcp-6-02-a.html
It's my understanding that the proper workflow is:
24p/60i on tape: Capture to the 24p Apple Intermediate Codec or Apple ProRes 422 codec, then output to the HVR-V1 camcorder in 24p/60i mode.
So, I have two questions.
1. Will the workflow above work properly and give me footage without the aliasing?
2. Which is best, AIC or ProRes?
3. Obviously I need to re-capture. Is there a way to do a batch capture only using clips used in my current timeline, so that everything automatically matches to what I've edited with the new footage, or do I have to start over from scratch?
ANY help/advice is much appreciated.
Katie
