When using FCP 6.0.5 to Log & Transfer AVC HD footage from the HMC150 which will be transcoded by FCP automatically into ProRes, for instance, does it have the full capabilities of being able to set ins and outs so as to only transcode various specific sound bytes from an interview, for instance, as long as I know the in and out points? Also, do the ProRes files retain the metadata from the original MTS (AVCHD) files, such as timecode? I ask so that if some day soon they release a version of FCP, such as with FCS 7 or at a new point upgrade of FCP itself, I can use Reconnect Media to have all of my edits suddenly pertaining to the original AVC HD footage instead of the ProRes in the meantime? And, to that end, would y'all recommend simply converting to DV for that purpose? And would that retain timecode and/or other metadata info?
Thanks!
Thanks!
