  How do I edit in SD for later HDV editing

  Posted by Kurt Schuette on April 11, 2006 at 3:06 am

  Here’s my situation…

  I am going to be on the road with my HDV camera and laptop. Since my laptop doesn’t have the hard drive space or horsepower to edit HDV, I am going to capture and edit my HDV videos in SD (using my FX-1’s built in down-conversion). So when I get home, I will have the project with titles, effects, batch capture lists, etc., only it will be in SD. From there I want to load the project onto my computer at home and capture HDV footage using the same project and settings. So, basically, when I get home, I want to capture and render and hopefully not have to do anything else, since the project has already been edited.
  I’ve played around with different settings, but I haven’t got it quite right yet. What project size should I use to edit the SD project? 720×480 widescreen? How do I get the titles to conform to the larger frame size? Has anybody had experience with this and have any suggestions?

  I am using Premire Pro 1.5, and Aspect HD

  Thanks

  Your biggest problem will be getting the timecode of the captured clips to match. So I recommend that you capture the entire tape in one go. Or a very few segments. Then you can do the same in HDV and possibly get the video cut to the exact beginning.

  I would edit the material in an HDV project with the SD blown up. That way everything except the actual video is exactly the way you want it.

  Just keep in mind that this is not a supported behavior. SO be careful and good luck to you.
