50 Chapter 2 Color Correction Workflows
A Tapeless DI Workflow Using Online/Offline Digital Duplicates
The easiest digital intermediate workflow is one where you scan all footage necessary
for the offline edit and then create a duplicate set of offline media to edit your project
with. Upon completion of the offline edit, you then relink the program to the original
2K source frames in Color.
Deriving the offline media from the original digital media keeps your workflow simple
and eliminates the need to retransfer the source film later on. The only disadvantage to
this method is that it can require an enormous amount of storage space, depending on
the length and shooting ratio of the project.
