Matthew Hannam Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi there, I'm starting work on a feature that will be shot on the Canon 7D. I am going to make HDCAM sub-masters of the footage from Final Cut Pro. I am wondering if picture wise it makes any sense to master at HDCAM SR or if the H.264 footage is already so compressed that it wouldn't make a difference. what do we think? mh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan McMillan Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 master at HDCAM SR or if the H.264 footage is already so compressed that it wouldn't make a difference. Sorry if this is covering what you already know. Just thought I'd share my 7D workflow - as I've been shooting with the 5 & now 7D for about a year now. I hold onto the H.264 as a backup - but never edit with it as its clunky. I transcode (through batch lists) all the footage into Apple ProRes 422. It's great for editing and the image quality is virtually loseless. I use MPEG Streamclip (free) for all transcoding. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
