    Can someone please give me advice on how to achieve the highest final vision quality on a pal project with original material on mixed formats.

    I am onlining a project set up in pal DVCPRO50 as that is the standard level of quality our organisation requires us to work in. Vision was shot HDV, SX and DV. The HDV vision was captured at HDV 720p25 and I have successfully imported the clips into the project. The vision originating on SX and DV however needs to be redigitised due to corruptions in the original capture. My intention is to capture the SX directly at DVCPRO50. If I also captured the DV material at DVCPRO50, would this give me the best possible quality for grading and output, or should I remain in the DV environment and capture in DV-PAL.

    Keep the DVCPro50 format, because it’s 4:2:2. This is better for compositing and colour grading than DV.
