Hi all:
After reading the new Apple White Paper, it is apparent than you can use FCP to print your finished show back to P2. This got me thinking about if dub houses will ever accept P2 cards as finished HD masters that they can make dubs from?
Could be a pretty interesting concept to shoot 720 24PN, edit it in FCP, output a 720P show back to the card, send the card to the dub house and have them up-convert it to say, 1080i HDCAM or D5. Then they would just return your card along with the dub(s). This could be a very interesting workflow for those of use who cannot afford an HDCAM or D5 deck but still need to deliver HDCAM or D5 masters.
Any thoughts on if any dub houses have been clued in on this? I work in LA so I think I may open a dialogue with Point 360, Matchframe, IVC and a few others, that this could become a valid workflow for all of us HVX-200 users. There are a lot of HVX-200 users in LA, I would be willing to bet that few of us have the budgets to own true HD decks.
Of course, we can always just lay the file back to a FW drive but with the ruggedness and reliability of the P2 card, I would feel safer loaning them my card than a FW drive that is toast if it is dropped or hit hard.
Whadda ya think?
