I'm getting ready to edit a low-budget feature film; principal
photography starts soon, and it seems like figuring out a sturdy HD100
workflow is the biggest mess I've ever seen.
1. We're talking 720/24p -- with 24p HD within our reach, both me and
the DP don't want to shoot for less. On the other hand, everyone wanted
the P2 but it's just out of our budget.
We (originally) planned to use a new dual-core laptop PC that we have.
I'm experienced with Avid and Premiere.
2. I'd rather have accurate, fast offline of recompressed SD DV than
resource-intensive HDV.
3. Am I being old-fashioned, insisting on maintaining timecode
throughout the workflow? I guess we can do something like buy an extra
firewire drive, capture the HDV there and make that our "master," but
I'm not feeling good about it.
4. I wouldn't mind using FCP if it was the right tool for the job, but
without TC in Lumiere, the whole option becomes irrelevant, doesn't it?
5. Has anyone ever tried using HDVxDV with Avid? In theory it should
work, including TC, but I haven't found any evidence.
Premiere Pro / AspectHD seems like the best solution, then, although
I've never (or barely) heard of any feature film cut on it. But I
opened a new thread for that.
Your thoughts and opinions are appreciated.
