    To edit HDV you need to upgrade to FCP 5.1. HDV was introduced to the world AFTER Final Cut Pro 4.5 came out…6 months after. So FCP 4.5 was not built for it. FCP 5.0 was the first to work with HDV…but 5.1 is the version that is available. And supports MANY MORE formats than 5.0 did.

    Then what was the HD that FCP 4.5 HD was designed for?

    The upgrade to FCP studio is still very cheap but the offer runs out soon, the benefits of the upgrade are immense and there are no downsides. I can’t believe there are any people out there who make a living doing this job that haven’t upgraded!

    I finally sent off for my UB discs. Have some P2 stuff coming in and apparently 5.0.x is a wee buggy for P2. Still a little unhappy about mailing the discs and $49. Even worse, a trip to the post office!
