Does Apples Final Cut ProHD edit DVCPROHD in “native” mode?
If the image has been imported from the firewire output of the DVCPROHD VTR it exists in the computer, as it did on tape in “native” mode. One can perform a (cuts only) conform by using time code and not having to uncompress the image. This then, is a “lossless” procedure. However, once a mix or any effect is undertaken the data has to be uncompressed and losses occur.
