Mixing HDV and DVCAM
Hi,
For my documentary I have both HDV and Dv footage.IM editing on PPro 2. How is it possible to work with multi format clips in the same project ?
Or do I have to export the either of the clips as AVI and then import them back in ? But thats a pain as I have around 7 hours of material.
Any suggestions ?

I’m currently mixing PAL HDV 1080i 7 PAL 16:9 Widescreen in a PAL 16:9 Project – I can scale and re-frame the HDV to fit the SD project. It’s slow, but works on a P4 3.6ghz with 1 MB of Ram. If you want fast performance and don’t have a kick-*ss machine, I’d say you would be best of turning your HDV into SD avi’s – unless you want to make use of re-framing and zooming in on the HDV footage.

The Project is 16:9 SD,I import SD DV avi (Premiere Captures from DVCAM) and native HDV MPEG2 files(HDV captures from another app). Premiere indexes the HDV files for a while, then I can drop them in the timeline. Hope that helps….
