Workflow advice - GH1 & HMC150

[jjwvu]

I'm excited to use my new GH1 alongside my HMC150 at a wedding this weekend. I'll be shooting 720 24p with the HMC150. What's the best option for me to get my GH1 footage to 720 24p - Shoot 1080 24p and downrez? Or shoot 720 60p and convert to 24p?

And then once I've decided on what mode to shoot, should I remove pulldown/conform in Compressor before dropping it into a 24p timeline, or can I just drop the transcoded ProRes files straight into a 24p timeline? I've read plenty of posts and the sticky on 24p conversion, but I don't fully understand what that process achieves that dropping straight into the timeline doesn't. In other words, how does quality differ between the two workflows?

Thanks in advance for any advice - much appreciated!

Personally, I'd go for the 1080 mode, unless you had an extraordinary amount of fast motion, it's the best looking by far. I only use 720p when I want slow-mo.

And you should remove pulldown before editing.
