or, you can invest $2-5k in a DIY system that would allow you to capture
any portion of your reversal film directly to harddrive in uncompressed
HD quality ready to color correct in you nle application. so an hour's
worth of film would about pay for this setup! if you are going to DVD
or broadcast television with your final cut, then this is the way to go.
it will save a ton of money in the long run. and if you have a apple
nle with fcp, you can purchase the decklink blackmagic SDI
capture/playback card for $999.99 and you will be able to
playback/record out to formats like digiBeta, wherein you simply rent a
deck for an hour or two, or however long your final cut is. this allows
you to edit all your footage i nthe comfort of your own home at your own
leisure anytime you want for a fraction of the cost at a nle house.
apple with final cut pro: $2k
hd capture/playback card: $1k
jk telecine/ workprinter: $3k
for $6k you can edit up to HD, and certainly anyling like minidv or
greater quality footage, and output to any sdi capable, or firewire
capable deck. for $10k, you wll have a jamming system, new G5 with 2ghz
dual processors and up to 8gm ram. purchase the new jvc HD camcorder
for $3k and use the workprinter 16mm at $2k, and you have an hd editing
facility for under $15k. no joke.
