How about Capture conform HDV in FCP and play out
HDSDI live grab to DS import edl ( for splitting sequence) and off
you go.
Its pretty painless.

HDV
I think the point that's being missed here is whether you'd
want to edit native even if you could (like FCP can right now).
There
was another thread yesterday on an FCP list where the consensus appeared to be
"Forget native HDV - where are the benefits?".
Whatever your
destination format, the timeline still has to be rendered, and that takes a
looooooong time.
So I'd just like to see Sony bring out an HDV VTR with
422 control and an HD SDI output. Or get a box which achieves the same
thing, which currently the Miranda box won't do.

I concur that the best way to handle HDV is to have a lesser
system to deal with the files such as a FCP or an Adrenaline. (I can here
the shouts of protest from the FCP crowd already :-)) If HDV has to be used
on the DS then it must be frame by frame
up-converted.
The DS
and other high end systems seem best used for "premium" source material. It
has been demonstrated many times over that the quality of the source footage
is not NEARLY as important as who post produces and edits
it!

HDV
Hiyas,
We all know we need HDV support. And
when do we want it?... yeah, yeah...
I've argued for a long time that
editing native HDV didn't make a lot of sense to me - not unless you were
going to end up laying back to HDV. So, more logically, you'd convert on
import to whatever your destination format is. That's what makes sense
to my little brain.
Reading on a few FCP lists recently it appears
that folks who already have the ability to edit native prefer to convert to
some form of intermediate codec for the same reasons. Plus, as one FCP
editor put it "Native HDV is nice but the biggest
downside to it is that when you go to do a render or export the final build
it takes forever for the computer to convert i,b,p frames into the new i,b,p
frames."
So, does anybody want to take up the gauntlet and
argue FOR staying native?
I don't have any problem here, I'm just
interested in seeing if there are any overwhelming arguments for or
against.
Cheers,
Tone :)
