I produce a weekly hour long sports program that is linked to my website using Vimeo. I shoot in 1080p since my new Panasonic CX-10 does not shoot in 720p. Do I edit in 1080 then use Compressor to lower the file size to around 2 gigs and 720 or do I edit on a 720p timeline and just use Compressor to lower the file size? By the way I shoot in 59.97 since it is a sports program with plenty of slo motion.
Thanks,
Tom
If you have a recent computer that's capable I'd suggest using a 720p timeline, which gives you the option to reframe the 1080 media without real quality loss.
Thanks Tom. Quick question. Will Vimeo accept a 1080p file? If it does, I assume an hour long show would just be too large of a file?
Thanks again Tom
They accept 1080. I don't know what the file size limitations are, that might depend on which tier of service you have.
Thanks again Tom.
Cheers.

Should I work in a 1080p timeline or 720p timeline?
