Seminar 1:
Succeeding in the New World of Tapeless & HD Video
The old days of recording standard-def images to video tape are quickly disappearing. Today, we are facing a bewildering array of video formats, acquisition technology, storage devices, and workflows which seem to change on an hourly basis. This four-hour session will help you succeed in this new world.
Designed for the new or experienced editor, the first half of this session
looks at HD, the second half is designed for both SD and
HD editors who want to get better organized, improve their
trouble-shooting, and safely backup the right data.
This seminar covers the following topics:
- Choosing the right hardware for HD without wasting
money
- Video format update - picking the right HD format
- The hidden issues in archiving a tapeless
workflow
- Working with Apple ProRes 422 and other video formats
- Trouble-shooting tips for your system
- Creating an archive system that works
- The strengths and weaknesses of Final Cut Server
Questions and answers - as always. Our goal is for you to go home with your brain full and your questions answered.
