    Convert your footage to what it converts to. So the DVCPRO HD will come in as DVCPRO HD. Use log and transfer…absolutely NO reason to use an outside converter for this. Some of your footage will convert to DVCPRO HD, some to ProRes, some to XDCAM or HDV…and whatever that 23.98 640×480 is (very odd format…SD doesn’t do 23.98)…and then use a ProRes timeline. Yeah, you’ll get a green render bar, but you can work with that.

    I just online/graded a doc last night that was shot by 50 crews…using a variety of cameras. XDCAM, RED, Canon DSLR, Panasonic DSLR, HDV, AVCHD, DVCPRO HD P2, GoPro. Most of the footage was converted to ProREs, but there was some DVCPRO HD, some XDCAM, some HDV…and some H.264. All was edited in a ProRes timeline and that made things go much smoother.

    Sorry to beat a dead horse guys, I just want to make sure I’ve got this right. Am I understanding you guys correctly that I can edit the 23.98fps footage with the 29.97 and 59.94 fps in 720p60 sequence?
    Really appreciate the help,

    Jordan
