-prores- capture on the fly- CON - no timecode to recapture your clips and breaks clips up it start/stop segments.
capture as hdv - doesnt have this problem??
cant remember if hdv lets you batch capture?? should do think thats what i did??
but - editing in hdv takes ages apparently to render things.
so either
1/ capture in hdv, set sequence setting to render as prores
2/if you want prores all the way capture as hdv - (to have your batch capture functionality and future recapture from source option.) then use compressor to transcode the capture files to prores. these will be exactly same files but in prores now. (thus avioding the start stop evil doing and also the 17 or so frames you loose when it cuts it in these places)
the n import them into fcp and edit them. full prores.
apparently - hdv isnt a good idea to bring into afx.
um how to get footage from FCP to AFX, without exporting it as one file, I want it to work like an illustrator file in indesign - no i want afx to be like photoshop and fcp indesign. so when you make changes in one, it updates it back into fcp... fuck does it need premier for this??? noooo.
one scripting app free
"works well but doesn not bring over alot of stuff like transitions, plug ins and certain color correction on vids.
But def a good workflow if you need straight shots ."

what your meant to buy a software to do it? that is gay.
interesting notes about gamma and afx and fcp and rgb
The solution, or maybe "pain-in-the-butt workaround" is a better term for it, that I use is to keep After Effects RGB, always. I render out all my shots in the Aja 10-bit linear RGB codec; if you're on a Blackmagic system, I think they've got an equivalent 10-bit linear RGB codec you can use.http://www.lafcpug.org/phorum/read.php?1,229564,229564
If I want to render shots out of After Effects as ProRes files (I do this with our logos and vanity plates, for instance) I'll render them as 10-bit linear RGB, then bring them into Final Cut. This is an important step: In Final Cut, I select each clip in my bin and set the gamma to 2.2, instead of the default "Source." Then I drop them into a ProRes timeline and export a Quicktime.
It's possible to change Final Cut's default gamma interpretation to 2.2 in Final Cut's preferences; it's operator choice whether you want to have everything come in as 2.2 or whether you want the default to remain "Source."
