Most efficient editing codec?
I have a good amount of content. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 or 5 hours a week is produced, coming off of an AVCHD camera, 1080p, using log and transfer, brings it in as ProRes422. That's where the question becomes.
Checking in about 50GB/hour, that'd be about a quarter of a terabyte every week. Not really in the budget around here.
My question now becomes, what would your suggestion be for a reasonable format (I don't necessarily need to keep it at 1080p, I'd be fine with a good quality 480p file) to store these things in, so that I can work with them in Final Cut Pro without having to render? I'm not sure where to find a list of all the formats that FCP can work with natively, etc.
I'd rather not need a terabyte a month of storage to keep an hour long lecture file for future use. Thoughts?
