FCP5 or Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0?
I am desperately trying to import HVD footage from a Sony HVR-A1 in OfflineRT mode in Final Cut Pro 5. I have a pretty slow Mac which does not allow me to work with native HDV or Apple intermediate codec and I WILL HAVE TO turn to PC if I do not find a quick solution… Argh…
I have tried the following : 1. OfflineRT HD esay setup specifying HDV as Capture setup and Sony HDV 1081i50 Firewire. - It has worked once and not more after that - The sequence is in JPG compressed mode but clips are all captured in full HDV, which makes it impossible to edit in RT… I have no idea of what is going on… 2. Offline RT (DV) - Using i-link downconvert mode to capture in OfflineRT mode - Everything seems OK until I finally try to batch capture in HDV. I then systematically get error messages and only a small part of the clips are captured. 3. HDV capture and transfer to OfflineRT HD via Media Manager (recompress) - Everything works fine (capture, recompress and batch capture). - BUT: it seems that recompress with OfflineRT HD suppose that the original is letterbox so that when the original (as mine) is 16:9, the compressed output is strongly distorted. - I tried to use custom recompress procedures but they all seem to produce outputs which cannot be edited in RT… It has been two weeks now and I did not start editing yet… What should I do? Turn to PC and Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0? |
