I’ve heard that it helps to convert the footage to another fomrat for working in AFX CS3. What would be about the best to convert it to?
thanks as usual

HDV is like Mpeg2, it uses groups of pictures.
If you want to mess with time in your HDV footage
you should capture it with Apple intermediate codec,
that saves your footage frame by frame;
It uses a lot of disk-space though. If you have a lot of material
and you’re not playing with the speed of your footage,
native HDV (what comes out of the camara) is about as good. -
-Animation is good – high quality.
-Photo-JPEG at 89-91% or so is good, slightly lower quality, but smaller file size (good).
-I’ve heard PNG is good, but I haven’t used it yet.
-If you work with FCP, ProRes would be a good option, but search the COW for ProRes — there used to be a slight glitch with ProRes and AE, as reported on http://www.capria.tv a while back.
– Apple Intermediate is another option, yes.If you work with Windows (or with others who use Windows), then Animation, PNG or Photo-JPEG would be the choices.
