Reconforming Online Media in a Film-to-Tape Workflow
If you’re working on a project that was shot on film, but will be mastered on video, it
must be transferred from film to tape using a telecine (telecined) prior to being
captured and edited in Final Cut Pro. At that point, the rest of the offline and online
edit is identical to any other tape-based format.
Here’s a more detailed explanation of the offline-to-online portion of this workflow.
Step 1: Shoot your film
Shoot the project as you would any other film project.
Step 2: Telecine the dailies
After the film has been shot, process and telecine the dailies to a video format
appropriate for your workflow.
