Re: [FCP-L] Re: Media Manager question (FCP 7)

Hi Robin,

I guess I could go Pro-Res. The only reason I was thinking DV50 was that it
is a format that I have used regularly and am comfortable with. Indeed, it
is an Intel. It has to be to run FCP 7, right? I guess it's time to invest
in FCS 3 and install it at home. I was really waiting for one of my clients
to adopt it before getting into it.

That being said, what would the preferred frame size be for standard def
Pro-Res?
