If it's a 5D, then you really want to transcode and get into MXF land. Of course, you can always transcode to DNxHD 175 (assuming they're shooting at 23.98), and you'll pretty much have all the resolution and bit depth on the original Canon files. You can then consider your new DNxHD 175 MXF files as your "camera originals", as there's really no practical loss of quality moving from what the 5D shoots to DNxHD 175.

Sent from iKedor miniThe first question is, what are they shooting? RED? Alexa? If Alexa, then ArriRAW or ProRes 4444 Log-C? What?Then I would always say transcode, transcode, transcode — to DNxHD 36 or 115. For that you'll need a couple of TB for the dailies, and then for your work (renders, music imports, graphics, whatever). But be sure you're storing at RAID 5 or some other mirrored, backed-up system.Yes, you could use AMA for this sort of thing, but I just don't really believe in it for feature work. You'll be so much happier with transcoded DNxHD MXF files zooming along happily inside the Avid.DDOn Apr 24, 2014, at 11:21 AM, Michael Kedor <mikedor@gmail.com> wrote:Dearest Sage Ones,Seeking recommendations for a low budget feature I'm cutting in July. I would prefer to cut from the camera sources, so I'll need enough storage to cover 20 shoot days.How much storage would you recommend I get, and do you have any favorite RAID setups?Also, does anyone have a feature film project template (Avid) they might care to share?Avid MC 7.1OS X 10.9.2Best,Michael KedorDavid Dodson
