i have a limited experience with Song Vegas editing DV footage. this is the 1st time i am using Canon 5d and editing with FCP 7
i have a 15 minutes short film i need to edit
i have couple of newbie question.
1. FCP wont edit native 5D footage and i need to use prores in order to convert it in workable format. which prores do i use ? proxy? LT? 422? . after i have every thing ready on my timeline do i convert it back from prores to the original format/or link original format some how to be used for rending? i converted my video to prores LT and i have a feeling it lost quality ...
2. in Sony Vegas to deliver we would render at the end, but reading about FCP it looks like we EXPORT at the end not render, and rending is done as a process of exporting... am i right?
3. for the best HD video i should export my final project in h.264 correct?
thank you
