This might have already been discussed before in other threads and forums but I wasn't sure on what to search for. But I was wondering about a workflow...

Lets say I shot some HDV footage with my FX1 then caputured it as SD footage using the cameras built in downconvert method. ( using the batch capture method so I would have a log list of SMTPE codes and in and out points from the tape(s)

Then edited that SD footage as I wanted to.

Is there a way to save that edit somehow, so that I could switch off the in camera dwnconvert... so that I could open a new project and do a batch capture, capture all those same clips but in HDV format, and then have it make a new sequence with that same edit but all HDV clips?


With out coping the sequence and then ' replacing the clips ' or doing a replace clip with command or sometihng. :zombie_smiley:


Basically I want to shoot something in HDV but its going to easier to work with in SD and will be put on DVD anyway. For the future I would like to be able to have a HD version of it.

So I guess what I'm asking is how to do an offline edit of HDV footage?
Can it be done?
 
I don't think so, but maybe--timecode is different in HDV vs. SD. You should capture and edit in HDV, then do the down-convert. the quality is better.

SD is SD, it shouldnt look better. Maybe there is more bit depth but the res is the same. I tried both and they look the same.
