I need some workflow recommendations on Canon 5D Footage (H.264) that has been edited in FCP – and as compositor, I need to bring this footage from FCP to nuke to do some compositing work.
What the client gave me was the entire FCP file, hard drive with all the footage. So I have to do the FCP exporting.
The 5D footage is H264, so I was wondering if anybody had recommendations on what type of export I should bring these clips into nuke. And when I’ve finalised my FX, should I export back to H.264 for delivery in it’s original format.
I know this question might have been asked before, but I read that someone mentioned about exporting from FCP as Prores, and then convert to EXR. But I didn’t see the need for this, as the footage is not high-dynamic in anyway or anything.
A little help would be appreciated, a little bit of a noob here.
Thanks.
