Apple Final Cut Pro HD (4.5): New Features - Manual (Page 58)

58 Chapter 1 Using DVCPRO HD
When your rough editing is complete, you can return to your original source tapes and
recapture only the media necessary to create the final edited sequence. The result will
be a full-resolution DVCPRO HD sequence ready for full-resolution output.
Although you may choose any offline-quality format that suits your project, the
following table shows corresponding DVCPRO HD and OfflineRT HD presets that ship
with Final Cut Pro.
To capture media at full resolution and recompress at OfflineRT HD resolution:
1 Choose an Easy Setup or capture preset that matches your DVCPRO HD source footage.
2 Log footage before capture, deciding which clips to capture.
3 Capture selected DVCPRO HD footage via FireWire.
4 Once you have captured all the clips you need for your project, select all the clips in the
project, then choose File > Media Manager.
Note: Placing all the clips in a single bin and then selecting the bin also works.
5 In the Media Manager, choose the following options, then click OK.
6 Once the Media Manager has finished creating OfflineRT media files and a project that
references them, copy this project and its associated media files to an external hard
drive or PowerBook for remote editing.
