Hey guys... Going over different blogs and podcasts I came upon this little plugin from Neoscene. I found out about it and it compresses your footage to 1080p and to a color space of 4:2:2.

I have a Sony Z1 and shoot on the HDV mode. It shoots a beautiful image on 1440*1080 50i (PAL) and edit the footage on Premiere CS3. Now I am making a film of 40 minutes. I was thinking that I will downconvert my footage to 1280*720 24p and edit it on this format. I was thinking of doing it in Premiere. This will allow me a post zoom in a few shots as well. Should I do it? How can Cineform help me in this and in generally? Should I get it?

Any Quad Core will let you edit HDV just fine but it would be wise to invest in a Core i7 system. Premiere Pro will let you CC HDV just fine. You can even pull of decent chromakey effects with native HDV althoguh it is not the best solution for chromakeying.
 
Neoscene does not resizes your footage, it captures or converts (when you have the files all ready on you machine) to Cineform avi with the same resolution. Hdv will be captured as 1440x1080.
Cineform is visually lossless.
Best is to edit in hdv or Cineform and export to any resolution you want.
