My guess is you could work at DNxHD 175 and not notice any image degradation. Something to note is you shot at 18 MBps, and every DNxHD resolution has a higher data rate than that - in most cases much higher. We mostly work in DNxHD 145 (the equivalent of DNxHD 115 in a 24p project) for national broadcast, and when it's shot well it looks amazing. To me, DNxHD 175 is good enough for anything, but I mostly work in news, where they're a lot more forgiving. It is a batch processing application for video conversions by 5DtoRGB from Rarevision. Your best bet is to capture some footage at DNxHD 175 and recapture the same footage at 1:1 and take a look at it to make a determination for yourself. 5DtoRGB Batch is an easy to use application that allows you to easily convert video files.

Maybe they're doing some kind of offline film workflow (I don't work in film, so I have no idea) and it doesn't matter what it looks like during the edit. Maybe they're on a shoestring budget and DNxHD 175 is the sweet spot between image degradation and drive space. If importing using DNxHD 175 we experience a quality loss from AVCHD why would anyone import using that if the finished product is intended for theater projection? But I would highly recommend upgrading to MC6 if you plan on using this camera a lot as it makes things easier and retains more quality IMHO. A simple comparison between MC6 AMA'd footage that was transcoded and exported DNxHD, and the original AVCHD clip both imported into After Effects 5.5 shows that there is very little generational loss and compression artifacts at least to the naked eye.īut you should run some tests yourself. MC6 with AMA would retain the original quality better, as you are only only transcoding the footage once and can export out of MC6 as 'same as source' since the transcoded footage is now DNxHD. While MC6 with AMA is immediate.though you end up with some time transcoding your edited footage or selects. at least in our tests, importing AVCHD clips into MC5 was pretty close to a 1:1 ratio, a 10 minute clip would take 10 minutes to import. Like I said before, MC6 and AMA is probably a preferred method and faster workflow. Any transitions and effects (such as color correction) you may be using will end up being DNxHD anyway. With MC6 and AMA, usually you would be either editing a sequence together with AMA clips or making selects using subclips and then transcodeding to Avid's DNxHD codec at some point which is easier for Media Composer to work with. We weren't ever really able to find any sort of transcoder that handled these AVCHD files well either.so you may want to do your own testing and comparisons.

Though you will probably want to convert to a lossless codec (like Animation or Sheer) or uncompressed to avoid further compression. RAWMagic is the professional cinematographers number one choice for MLV and RAW.
