Q: Best workflow to combine ProRes with .h264

Before I get any lectures - I know this is far from ideal.

 

But I have a client who only has .h264 files available along with some HD DV tape I can encode as ProRes.

 

Getting the original tapes or cards is not an option.

 

I know, I know - I've done enough tutting and head shaking for us all.

 

Meanwhile, I have converted the .h264 to ProRes and made them separate movies so they are now editable.

 

Does anyone have any advice on making the .H264 look as good as possible?

 

Final output will be for conference presentation so will be on a big screen.

 

The footage is well shot and was originally edited as ProRes. I just have misfortune to only have the .h264 versions of it.

 

Thanks for any advice.

 

I'm to give the client another good spanking (well, after the check has cleared).

 

Thanks again.
