Adam Stein Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hi there, I have shot a couple of projects on the HVX200, capturing on the P2, and editing in DVCPRO 24P mode in Final Cut. The delivery requirements of these projects have been simply a finished DVD. I love the camera and the ease of shooting on the P2. I plan to use this setup again for a two-minute piece, but the wrinkle is that the new clients want delivery on DigiBeta. How do I get the best-looking Digibeta out of my basic FCP system? I could take it to an online place in the LA area depending on the cost... I could take them the whole FCP project with all the media, or a full-res QUicktime file... Thank you so much for your advice, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for your advice, Adam Adam, I just got a matrox MXO box at NAB for this purpose and for colorcorrection. It's under $1000 and can even do a center cut from widescreen material. You connect the MXO to the monitor out on your powerbook and it outputs a SDI,component, s-video or composite signal to whatever deck you choose. It may not pay back on this project but should in the future. It is a great product. Best of luck, Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for your advice, Adam If it's just a 2 min piece you could just export an uncompressed file in a QuickTime wrapper and bring a disk to somewhere they have a DigiBeta deck. If you'll be doing it more often and you're on a desktop Mac you could get a BlackMagic Decklink card that would let you connect a deck to your Mac via SDI and then rent a deck.

Douglas Hunter Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Adam, Pilot season is ending in the next week so a lot of the labs will have plenty of free time on editing systems etc. its a good time to get good rates for low budget and short projects. If you can afford it I think the best results would be gained by exporting a full res quicktime and taking it somewhere like Modern Videofilm in burbank for color correction / downconverted output to Digi.
