Hi there
I've just joined indietalk from Emirates.
I was trained as a painter but fate got me in my father's photography studio (commercial studio & weddings). Since I was a struggling artist working in corporates day time and fighting to be an artist by night. I just decided to get into my father's business to at least have a creative job. I've been photographing since childhood. But for the past year, I've taken up the film and really enjoying it as a medium of expression. It's a broad freaking canvas!
Anyways, I'm really confused with the editing workflow. I have a Macbook pro retina 13". I've got Pr, Ae (CC 2017) & FCPX 10.3. My expertise level is pretty much the same on all three - which on a scale of 10 would be 3 IMO.
The confusion is that I love the clean and easy workflow of FCPX and it's efficiency on my system. But it lacks in colour grading flexibility as compared to PR and I've only got Neat Video in AE. Moreover, I'm unable to find free goodies for FCPX at the moment.
It just occurred to me that what if I edit my whole video in FCPX and export it in h.264 or ProRes 422 and then take that clip to Pr/Ae for grading and denoising? Is it alright to that? Are there any shortcomings or is it a good practice? I've researched extensively but couldn't find relative material.
Any advice would be more than appreciated.
Apologies for the noobness.
