Hi All
I've a long (2 hour) stage show shot with Sony Ex1 with an AVCHD cam and HDV cam as exttra angles. EX1 shot 1080i/25.
I'm targeting 16:9 SD output on DVD but in editing, wish to maintain the following flexibility;
1. Multi-camera editing (necesitates identical codec on all footage).
2. Ability to scale & pan HD footage on SD timeline for shot re-framing
My immediate thought is to take everyting in as ProRes and edit on SD timeline
The attraction here is that the AVCHD goes straight to ProRes on ingest and that format gives me the above features.
However, bumping everything up to ProRes increases the data rate and hence file size, right? Running three Prores streams in multi-cam editing mode will tax my machine, drives etc., right?
So, before I go ahead with this, any thoughts on an alternate ingest strategy?
Thanks in advance
