They hired me just for the Color Correct. They were on Avid, I'm on Apple's Color. Here's the nifty part: They captured DVCProHD natively in Avid, Automatic Duck was able to import the timeline into FCP and ALSO unwrap the DVCProHD footage from the Avid wrappers into a Quicktime wrapper (no transcoding). I Color'ed, rendered out as DVCProHD and Automatic Duck re-wrapped to the Avid file format. My client opened the 'Duck'ed' project in Avid - nary a hitch and not a single transcode! It was fantastic. And now that Avid has ProRes, this workflow really opens up. - pi Last year I had doc that was DVCProHD, both acquired and for the delivery specs. They hired me just for the Color Correct.
