    I don’t believe you will ever get the converted files back on the card with out the EX-30 deck I decribed earlier. There is no reason to put the clips back on the card unless you need to use the camera as a deck for a presentation or to uncompress the XD cam files using the component or HD-SDI ports to transcode to another codec. Not sure why you would need to do this? I feel like you haven’t asked the real question yet.

    Good Luck

    I need to put the clips (of winter«) back onto the card to do a time-laps clip of winter into sumeer, using the onboard ASSIGN 4 function, which has a ‘last frame’ freeze, and I can then align my new picture and smoothly transition from one scene to the other.

    That is how I did it with the PD 150… Remember the overlap function in the menus? Same thing. I would film, and then use the last-frame-viewing to align and transition.

    THIS IS THE REASON I KEEP ALL OF THE RAW FILES AND A COPY OF THE BPAV FILE AS AN ARCHIVE. You need to get in the habit of making new folders for each of the cards BPAV files, and keep them in a separate folder on a second drive. I think you need to post a new question asking how to match a frame without the overlay. I can tell you now that I would try using my HD editing monitor and setup the EX1 and shoot the freeze frame off the monitor as a reference, the image will be on the card to use as you planned. I may shoot a tad bit wider for the summer frame so I could make adjustments during post just to be safe.

    Good Luck
