You are not proposing to convert other footage TOO H264, I hope? Mostly, H264 is a processor hog and I think you'll be in for a lot of pain. The students where I teach often shoot on DSLRs and AMA the clips and get bogged down on the i5 iMacs with too little RAM that they have to use (we are about to upgrade). For optimised playback and small files, try DNxHD36.

Subject: [Avid-L2] MC7 H264
Just started on a new show that's been upgraded to MC7. I have it running on my home computer, but have never used it on a production. At home I use the newish h264 codec for offline because of the space that it saves, but I'm wondering if this is a viable option for an hour long timeline using multigroups with up to 5 cameras. I know that h264 is a more CPU intensive codec so I'm wondering if this is going to cause slow timelines or other various problems when we start editing versus using 8:1 or 35:1 SD. We need to save space because this facility charges per terabyte on their Isis.Also, if we were to use the h264 codec, would it be compatible with the latest version of MC 5.5?Thanks
