onlining from dvcam to digibeta

[bogpetri]

Hello,

I need an advice, if possible!

My 35mm thesis film has been telecined to digibeta, with a cloned copy to dvcam. I finished editing in FCP using the digitized dvcam footage, with the project residing on my LaCie Firewire800 hard disk. Now, the school is renting a digibeta deck for two days, and I need to online the project myself. I have never done this before, and since I will have no help, hopefully somebody might check on the steps I plan to take!

First, I would create another sequence in FCP with digibeta settings (NTSC 4:2:2 uncompressed - correct me if I'm wrong). I would move the dvcam sequence on the new uncompressed timeline and offline all the clips. Then, I just have to take my LaCie drive and digibeta tapes, and re-capture all the clips to the uncompressed timeline at school, using the digibeta deck.

Would that be enough?

Thank you very much for any corrections/advices!

Use the Media Manager and create an offline sequence to the codec of your choice for recapture.

The problem is I am not picture locked yet. I want to recapture ALL my clips and continue editing online until I finish. I don't have too much footage anyway (since it originated on 35mm and it's a short movie)

Shall I create another project file, settings 4:2:2 uncompressed, offline my clips and recapture from digibera? That would be enough?

Thanks!
