A1 m2t in Vegas to FCP HDCAM
 

I use my A1 for SD broadcast but shoot in HDV. I may have the opportunity for some of my b-roll to be included within an HD broadcast.

What would be the best delivery method to get an A1 m2t compiled in Vegas over to a FCP user for use within an HDCAM timeline? Ideally, my clip would just integrate right into the HDCAM workflow or be easily reviewed on a Mac and encoded to do so.

I’ve searched the forums but did not find anything regarding this specific issue.

I will also have to put the raw files on a DVDR.

Hi Eric,

See if this helps you?

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the reply, but that post seems to deal with HDV to SD content. I'm good on that.

I’m looking for the most efficient way to get HDV/m2t content (from the A1) from a PC over to a FCP user for HDCAM output. I won’t be doing any DVD content authoring, just burning the raw files on a DVDR ISO for delivery.

I’m more concerned about the ease of use and seamless integration of the files into FCP. So I am not clear on whether I should provide a 1440x1080 mpeg2 file or a 1920x1080 mpeg2 file and their respective bitrates for HDCAM to broadcast.
