Canon AVCHD ProRes 422 (LT) vs H.264
Howdy!
My friend and I have shot about 8 hours of footage on his Canon Vixia HF 30, and its all in AVCHD at about 12-17 MBS (I can't remember exactly which). I've already log and transferred it to our Macbook Pros using Apple ProRes LT. My question is this, for this project and future ones, ProRes 422 LT the best format to import the footage as, or should I use one of the others (Plain 422, H.264 Etc). We shot most all the footage at 30p, with some being 60i that I made into 60p for slow motion shots using compressor. Disk space is a concern, though if one option is slightly larger then another, but has much better quality, that would work.
Thanks!!
