RE: [Avid-L2] ProRes 4444 to DNxHD185X...

Thanks guys,

yep, it shoots to MXF OP1a, so it still requires a re-wrap to OPAtom on import but pretty good. The grade will be a simple Symphony job, I think it's a bit of a case of making a mountain out of a mole hill and wanting to use fancy cameras for a job which maybe doesn't require it but that's not up to me. My main question was really what happens quality-wise in the process of going from 4444 to 422, I always figured it was better to avoid any form of transcoding and try and stay native throughout. I can't imagine that much difference when it's just going on tv but I'd be happy to be given a reason why it makes more sense to shoot 4444.

Cheers,

Andi
