Dear forum saints, 
I have here a pile of amateur shots which are intended to form a music-clip of some sort. No one of the operators had the slightest idea of formats or framerates and the like other than marketing blaw-blaw.
The most sensible way to handle the stuff would obviously be first to transcode the data into some decent codec. ProRes in my case. In fcpx I wouldnt even think about it - optimized media and you are "good to go" (as far as rubish data can go good...): The data juggling is handled by the program in the background and if it is laggy I have a cup of coffe while renders are ongoing. My record: A 36 Multicam edit running smoothly!
In dr I wonder if the same can be achived with proxy media? Some people are working with h264 proxies (what I can not understand) but why not the other way round and work with ProRes Proxies? I would have in the end a playout rendered from original data and not a odyssey through loopholes of transcoding and massive piles of data on the roadside (well, I wouldnt have to manage them).
And what is optimized media in dr for anyway?
Can proxies nail variable Data bitrates? (at least to work with them for a while)
Thank you for listening!
