Avid Media Composer Online-Offline P2 Workflow
Published by Matthew Jeppsen November 25th, 2007 in Formats, NLE, News, Tutorials 
Here’s a handy video tutorial for Avid Media Composer editors that shows a simple Panasonic P2 import workflow, and how to use P2-sourced video in a offline/online workflow. In the tutorial, instructor Bob Russo walks the viewer through all the steps necessary to import P2 MXF media and clip info into a bin. He then demonstrates how to transcode the HD footage to a standard-definition for snappier offline editing. Finally, Bob explains how to painlessly relink the final edited sequence back to the HD sources for the online.

Oh sweet. I haven’t watched it yet, but I’ll catch it after work. I always wondered how this would work.
So, Avid SLOWS DOWN when working with P2 at high resolution? Hmmm…I don’t notice that with FCP. But, i guess that is because I haven’t offlined on FCP either. ALL online, all the time.
I’ll link to this as well, thanks Matt.
Hey Shane,
I imagine that like FCP, Avid performance is going to be largely dependent on the system hardware you are running it on. I agree with your perspective though, online all the time is my mantra for the most part. But I CAN think of a few instances in recent memory where an offline workflow would have been helpful…the most recent wasn’t specifically P2 media, we were using another flavor of HD, but the render times got a bit tiresome after revision #6 of the spot.
Thanks Shane
