I recently shot a film on 35mm and my DP transfered the footage to a BetaSP color corrected and also to miniDV for editing with matching timecode. But I'm a bit confused as I have never done an offline edit before. Do I need to create/export and edit decision list (EDL) in my NLE (Sony Vegas) or can I simply edit the miniDV low res copy that has the matching timecode and save the Vegas file to a disc for the online edit. Most broadcast editors use FCP??

I have the BetaSP master. The thing is huge... what am I going to do with this? lol I really have no clue at this point. DP also has 720p files on hard drive which said he can later FTP for me. But dude is major busy... So if anyone has any ideas how I can finish my first film would be tremendously helpful as I would like to submit to fests. Thanks. :cheesy:
 
This is something that should have been decided before the telecine session.
Are you going to edit everything in your NLE, or are you going to cut the 35mm?

Beta SP and mini DV are both poor choices unless you only need a standard def version.
If it were me, I would get the full res 720p files and edit from them.

Good Luck!
