    I have experimented with 720×480 dv ntsc widescreen versions of my AVCHD files for editing/cutting on a laptop…..so that I can then move the drive over to my 6-core tower to then reconnect the AVCHD original files for final encoding at full res. I make my cuts/edits in a 720×480 dv ntsc widescreen seq…..then copy them and paste them into an AVCHD seq and reconnect .mts files without issue.

    Problem: I do ALOT of multicam work. Would like to be able to “cut” the multicam on my laptop in DV NTSC but when I try to bring the nested multicam seq over into an AVCHD @ 1920×1080 I can’t get the “cut” multicam to resize. Because I am unable to change the seq settings for the existing DV NTSC seq.

    Am I missing something?

    The only way I could get this to work was to import the NTSC files into the AVCHD seq. (which makes them appear smaller in the frame) and cut them there, then reconnect originals with no prob.

    Is there a way to do multicam editing with the use of lower res files? without this resizing issue?

    Please help. Thanks! :o)

    I tend not to use proxy workflows anymore, but when I was doing them with Premiere, instead of starting with a larger timeline and having the smaller proxy clip in it, I was doing a variation where I would use proxy-sized timelines, then create the master-sized timelines and copy/paste the sequence from one to the other then relink the files. Half a dozen in one hand, six in the other– I don’t believe there is a better/faster way of doing it.
