Codec for multicam in FCP from HD100
Hi
I have just completed a 3 camera shoot, a HD251, HD100 and Z1. I am using FCP and had, as usual major capture problems in terms of time code breaks. So I have used DVHSCAP and will then convert using MpegStreamclip. My dilema is that I will be doing multicam editing in FCP using an external hard drive. HDV works frine for that. But I am not sure AIC will as its data rate is a lot higher. Final output is SD DVD. Anyone recommend what wold be best to do from here? Best codec etc? I know its more of an FCP question, but I figure you guys must have come up against this. Thanks Trevor |
Hi Trevor.
I've been able to use AIC for a 3-camera edit of HD100 footage in FCP with a FW 800 external disk. You can also do the edit off-line with a low-res format and then switch to the high-res, high-quality version when you'r done. I know, not quite as sexy as editing in HD... :) |
Hi Paolo
Thanks for this. Can you o the low res / offline thing with media that has already been captured but not through FCP? Thanks. Trevor |

You can create lowres versions of your clips, say Photo Jpeg, full res but with a quality of 35%, and the replace them for your final CC and output. |
