Belaboring the obvious, film to digital
Only a single, archival print exists of a film I directed many years ago.
The owner will let me borrow it (if I accept considerable responsibility for it) so I can make a digital file of it. I want to re-edit the film, zoom in on scenes, add newly shot material -- so I can re-issue it on DVD and stream it. I plan on doing this in FCP7. (Old habits die hard!) The owners are offering to do a transfer to SD near by them. I want a transfer to ProRes HQ, right? Please critique my thinking and make any suggestions ~ like which are the right facilities to do this. Deluxe NY ?

Re: Belaboring the obvious, film to digital
Why do they not try to make an HD copy? Why SD? You can always downconvert on export for DVD purposes...
And if I were in your position, I would definitely rip it to prores - HQ is good, LT is probably fine too, 4:4:4 is overkill. |
