Has anyone FTP'd raw footage to a client?
Generally I just Fed Ex raw footage to out of town clients, but the one I'm shooting for tomorrow insists on FTP'ing it to their studio in London. What is the best way to do this?
I'll be shooting on my C300. As I understand it, one can send clips, but its harder to send folders. So, instead of sending the "CONTENTS" folder with the raw footage, I plan to convert it to either ProRez, or Avid, or whatever format is appropriate for whatever system they're editing with. However, they haven't told me which system they're using, and the producer doesn't seem to care. Will one format be smaller than another?
I'll probably have to sign up for We Tranfer to send it. If the clip is over 20 GB, I guess I'll have to chop it into chunks and send those.
I know upload speeds are much slower than download speeds for home cable internet service. Is there anything I can do to speed it up?
Is there a better way to go about this????
