Archiving in Pro Res HQ
I have around 200 old DV tapes of rushes half of which are on SD and the other HDV. Each tape refers to one programme of about 40 mins. I wanted to digitise them all as simply as possible. For no other reason than to have a duplicate safe copy. I was thinking of making copies in Pro Res 1920 x 1080 HQ so they are ready to edit in the event I may want to edit them in some time in the future. Is there a way of doing this without having to make a seperate FCP project for every tape and then having to copy the .mov files from the scratch folder to a new large hard disc for every tape digitised? In other words is there a way of digitising direct from the HDV deck and straight to a hard disc in an appropriate format for Final Cut Pro?
