Best way to import DV into an HDV project (and make it the same size)
Ohhhh man,
The time has finally come to begin editing a project we’ve been gathering footage for, for the last 8 years.
We’re embarking on a Blue Ray project that will obviously contain lots of good ol’ DV (and even analog 8) footage.
Will Premiere automatically upsize the footage or to I need to dump it to HDV tape? Thinking of all kinds of ways this could be done…
Best,
Todd

Edit with it in its original format, don’t go back to HDV tape at any cost it won’t make it look better, but it will compress already compressed quality again to make it HDV format. Work with it’s original format. Use ‘scale to frame’ setting in preferences so when stuff comes into an HD timeline it will resize itself to fit it automatically. Then export at the end to test how to set your SD clips as they might need tweaks. But don’t go out to tape to ‘uprez’ the SD clips. Video8 BTW is a soft poor video to start from it can’t get better than it is – no footage can really.
