EDL to Online editing timings


Recommended Posts

Hello:

 

We plan to shoot our feature on S16, telecine it to DigiBeta and miniDV or DVCAM (not decided), offline edit in Final Cut Pro and create an EDL for Online editing. My questions:

 

1. What kind of editing time I am looking at for Online editing? For example, as a rule of thumb, for every 1 hour of footage it take 3 hours of telecine (best light). Are there any rules for Online timing? Also, does anyone know the costs involved. Range is fine.

 

2. My editor prefers telecine to DVCAM (instead of miniDV) for offline editing. I guess the Final Cut Pro HD creates a more reliable EDL than miniDV. Are the cost significantly higher for DVCAM telecine?

 

3. How do the cost of telecine to HD-D5 compare with DigiBeta?

 

Like every filmmaker, we aspire to get limited theatrical release and want to keep our options open for 35mm blowup. Any advise would be deeply appreciated.

 

Also, I would like to thanks Mitch Gross for his valuable input for our project. He is a great guy!
