I really should know this, but I'm starting an edit on a long term project I want to make sure I set up the FCP7 system correctly at the get go so to avoid heartache down the road. Been there and done that before, not pretty!
So, this documentary project has all recent filming shot with the Sony F3 / PIX 240 at 1920x1080 29.97fps Apple ProRes 422, 24 bit, these pieces form the current backbone of the film, all the recent and relevant interviews.
I have a lot of Broll shot on S16 film plus still photographs and possible some old BetaCam footage.....All of these I will cut into the film's timeline then before final assembly re-transfer the film to suit, adjust the stills to fill frame or crop to 16x9, and see what can be done to any of the BetaCam footage if I decide to use it, ( unlikely, maybe just audio clips ).
So what settings in the FCP7 setup menus should I use seeing that the F3 footage will be the prime media?
Also...what is VBR and CBR? I see those options in XDCam EX settings and I haven't a clue as to what they mean!
Many thanks...
