106. Post Production - Week 9
2 years ago
Part 2 of 64 Days is taking longer than usual edits (pt1 is here vimeo.com/610377, if you missed it), lots of footage we don't have to track down, or at the least, gaps to fill in.
Been busy trying to set up a second station to import footage while we cut these episodes.

cut out the stuff you don't have. As always best of luck. And hope the OS Updates went well. Look forward to seeing the next edition.
The OS updates went fien :) although my old mini' took quite a while to do it's thing. Got worried for a bit.
Thanks - it should be up by Friday.
Obviously, optimally, all of your footage would be loaded before you started editing. I don't normally cut videos with anywhere near this much footage to load, but if I had to, I'd do a test run with the lower-resolution format to see if I could up-rez it properly. If it worked, I'd dump the entire project into the drives at low resolution and as each segment became ready for FX, I'd reload just that section in full quality. Output, archive, erase the hi-rez and repeat.
The obvious value to doing things that way is you don't get stuck needing to load with Express in order to patch episodes. All your footage is available to you ahead of time. The sticking point is whether the low-rez -> hi-rez process actually works precisely.
If it works perfectly, you can do everything up to the graphics phase before up-rezing. If it works inaccurately, you can make your entire edit, cuts-only, up-rez and then do the actual edit from there.
I haven't done that recently with FCP, so I can't give an opinion on it. I have maybe a terabyte of space, and drives are getting cheaper by the day. For the projects I work on, I don't have enough material to have to "offline".
It shouldn't take a day to test this. Take a section of a segment you've already edited that has dissolves, effects, etc in it, make an EDL out of it, import the new clips low-rez, make sure it works the way you want it, then up-rez the sequence. It's not exactly the same, but the point is to see how frame-accurate your uprez is.
This has the obvious problem of $,$$$ for the overnight loader and for the extra drives you'll need to hold all that footage.
