Pro8mm SD vs HD Scan

Post by Kircules »

okokokokok, I knooooooooooow there's another similar thread.

Please bear with me. I tried to read the other post and got lost in the squabbling and couldn't make it to the end.

I'm going to shoot a little test roll with my new 814 XLS! Woohoo!
I might as well not waste the roll, so I figured I would shoot an little piece edited in camera and get it transferred at pro8mm, just down the street from my house.

The final delivery will be for web and will go up on Vimeo.

The camera doesn't have a wide gate and I see no reason for 16x9 because I don't want to crop my image in the viewfinder.

So, if I'm going 4x3 is it worth even going for the HD Transfer. It's only $20 more, but then I have bars, which I guess I would have on vimeo anyways.

Also, I'm going to do sound in FCP. So, my brain says get a ProREs HQ, my heart says, go 10bit uncompressed and res down to ProRes yourself.

Opinions?!?!

HD or SD and Pro res or 10bit?

I´d say ProRes HQ in HD.
