Here is what I'm thinking the order of events will be for this process:
Capture video with media 100.
Media 100 will allow me to bounce back & forth to AE.
In AE (as of right now) I plan on replacing the captured little black bars with 1-color black boxes to help the bit-rate issues they present.
Also, I plan on re-titling everything on top of those new black bars for the same reason mentioned above.
Once everything is edited (video/audio) and I've done all of the color correction that Media 100 & AE can, I'll output a monster interlaced 29.97 fps video.
This raw video will probably be 1 gig per minute if it is a lossless QT video using the component codec.
The reason I want to keep everything in a media 100 format for as long as possible is because although it is lossless the file sizes of the actual media 100 files are small.
Their compression scheme for lossless is awesome. This will allow me to easily archive all of my footage. Each movie should end up being roughly
60 gigs in the media 100 format. The downside to this is that this footage will require their card to be edited in the future.
OK so here I sit with this best possible footage. Now, I've been combing through the Cinema Craft manual and it will handle the de-interlacing as well as the frame rate conversion during its 9-pass compression sequence. So I take care of those issues when compressing it to an mpeg 2.
Here is one of many (to come) of my questions. If I need to use some of the filtering you guys are using to remove halo/ghosting etc can those filters be ran on QT files?
