Michael Collier Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Lossless codec at native resolution is best for finnishing the film. Try making two clips, one uncompressed, and one with the native codec you are editing with (probably DV) then you can edit without having to render too much, but when you are ready to master the film, you can replace the DV clip with the uncompressed one. You'll have less rendering, but maintain all the quality of uncompressed in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Hunter Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 1) What format did you shoot on? 2) What program did you use to capture the footage and what were your capture settings? 3) Are you exporting the motion as quicktimes to bring into the FCP timeline? 4) What format are you finishing on?

Michael Collier Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 You have the basic Idea, but if your two clips are equal lenght and the first frame is the same, its much easier to unlink the media (make it offline) and then relink the new clip, the the NLE does all the work for you. Then everything you did will apply to the new clip with just a two step proccess, rather than try and replace everything and not screw anything up.
