    Use a Kona card and do it through hardware in real time…or…if you don’t have a local Kona shop that’s open this evening, I have a question for you. Do you want to downconvert a finished sequence or do you want to downconvert all of your clips to edit in an SD timeline?

    OK, I will get a “hitchhiking” on this topic. I am curious about the best workflow to edit OFFLINE with the P2 media files. Is there a way to down convert from HD to DV mantaining the same TC to reconect the project

    Sorry, I change the word AFTER for BEFORE in that frase:

    “I always worked (until now) in an ONLINE=>OFFLINE=>ONLINE workflow, down converting my digibeta media files to DV in an ONLINE finish house and than recapturing again (AFTER) in DIGIBETA only the media used in my project.”

    Thanks.
