I'm dealing with a post production supervisor in Hollywood (I don't usually get this close to the "big time" so I'm out of my element here). He wants to receive the results of one of my film transfers and is requesting that I deliver it in the Cineon format. Obviously I cannot do this directly from Vegas.

The film I transferred is 16mm amateur color film taken in 1957. Thus, it is not the greatest film to start with and the amount of information in the shadows and highlights is pretty minimal, especially since it was taken outdoors at night in Times Square.

So, my question is this: what format should I propose as an alternative to Cineon? I really don't think Cineon is necessary for any quality reason. The total footage delivered is going to be about ten seconds, and I'm going to be paid stock footage rates, so it isn't worth jumping through many hoops.

So, what format can I produce from Vegas that would likely be accepted into the workflow of a "Hollywood" post production person?

I assume Bob (farss) will have an idea.

Thanks!
