FCPX Workflow Guidance
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2012 5:20 pm
Hi guys,
Neat is working great with FCPX, so thanks for that.
I would like to clarify something that I am wondering about, and this is a topic that seems to come up quite a bit in other forums.
What is the best workflow using Neat Video in FCPX?
Generally I complete the edit.
Then apply Neat Video, and background render.
Then I apply the Grade, and background render.
Then export the final movie.
Is that about right?
As the render can take a long time, and because Neat is processor heavy I was wondering would it be worthwhile to do the following:
Copy the clips that need noise reduction to a new timeline.
Then apply Neat, and export the clip as ProRes.
Then reimport the clips to the original timeline.
I guess this would mean you have to do a number of smaller exports in the beginning, but the final edit does not need noise reduction filtering to take place (meaning a shorter final export)?
Would the above work (assuming ProRes is good for a few generations before you see any quality loss)?
Hope someone can set me straight on the best workflows!
