Picture lock off to resolve

[Jeremy Walton]

In my current feature I have mixed formats. I shot 5k with Epic, HD footage from my XA-20, and some stock HD footage. Most of the HD footage was .mts so all HD footage was imported as dnxHD 175.

Now its off to resolve for finishing and online.

My question is in resolve I'll have the raw red footage 5k, and the dnxHD 175 footage. When everything is complete I want an HD master to lay to HDCAM for festivals. I see a lot of people use the prorez 444 for their master. Sounds good for the red footage, but what exactly happens to the dnxHD footage? I wouldn't want to export red footage at the dnxHD 175 level. I'm just wondering if I'll have any issues at the end? Thanks.

All the source material is transcoded on the fly to 32 bit floating point RGB image data. So the input codec and output codec are not related. Consider exporting everything at ProRes 4x4.
