Also decide what “better” means before you compare. If you freeze a frame and zoom to 400%, you may prefer the version that preserves more tiny textu...
I would separate the capture decision from the editing decision. At capture time, choose the mode that preserves what you need: resolution, frame rat...
I organize by source first, not by opinion. Something like: PROJECT - ORIGINALS - GOPRO_A - GOPRO_B - PHONE - AUDIO - GPS - PROXIES - PROJE...
I would test whether the problem follows the proxy file outside the editor. Open the proxy by itself and note its dimensions and orientation. If it is...
Exactly. Keep the vendor original as the archive master, especially when stabilization, horizon or orientation metadata matters. Use GoPro Player when...
I would start with workflow friction. Import one of the real camera files and measure how long it takes to get a smooth timeline, trim it, add a title...
And proxies change the buying decision. If the editor can generate reliable proxies and reconnect to the originals automatically, you do not have to s...
That tradeoff is real. Pre-rendering flat clips reduces complexity and can make a heavy project easier to edit. The cost is that every pan, horizon de...
But test the end-to-end time. A theoretically better source is not useful if every night of the trip becomes a two-hour proxy wait.
If your system can handle it, keeping the source live is much more flexible. An intermediate can still make sense when performance is poor or the rest...
Treat the long audio recording as the backbone. For every camera start, create a visible or audible sync event if possible. A clap is fine, but on an ...
