New test footage

Thanks, once I get my workflows all sorted out it will be awesome working with this baby!
What I have learned so far, is that I'm going to have a few different workflow procedures. One for my wedding stuff in which I will simply use the mainconcept program to convert to DVAVI.
The stuff I put on the web like this clip which was a pain. I converted the MT2 file to Lagarith AVI and edited that although it still wasn't solid, then exported a 720p uncompressed AVI and exported that again from quicktime H.264 for the web.

My other issues will be my TV show comittments, not sure if we are even going to produce it in HD this year, if so I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Thanks for the welcome Everts!
 
Ive been editing cs4 premiere pro recently, but Im still using Panasonic/mainconcepts avchd to dvcprohd. So I edit in dvcprohd. Need a lot of hardrives to.
Dont the clips turn out soft when you convert to dvavi ?
I guess im a post guy at first so I would like to edit as smooth as possible.
The conversion times for 720p are 1:2 so that helps alot or is it 2:1.Lets just say a minute takes 30sec at 720 24p. but 1080p looks great IMO.
Goodluck !

They most likely do, but unless the wedding edit is going onto BD disc for delivery its a waste of time editing in a 1080 or 720 timeline. Best off just getting all the footage, transcoding it with mainconcept to DVAVI and make editing a whole lot easier, then it gets thrown onto an SD DVD.

Once clients ask for BD disc, and it becomes cost effective to do so, I'll look at other options.
