playback speed between HDV and HD
Hello,
I am editing 2 projects at the moment: one was shot on HDV (1440×1080), the other HD (1920×1080).
I am baffled at the difference in playback speed between the 2 projects: the HDV one is perfectly smooth, both in the timeline and the canvas, but the HD one is a hastle: even moving frame by frame in a clip has a delays
Is this normal or is therea hidden problem in my HD project?I have a Macbook Pro, Intel 2.2 GHz, RAM 4 Go
Thank you!

OK, HDV is a format, a specific format. Good. We got they. But “HD” isn’t specific. HDV is HD. Do what format of HD? ProRes? Uncompressed? H.264? Avchd?

looks like I still have a lot to learn! 🙂
the HD footage is H264, 1940×1080. Is that enough information?Marianne

Thank you. Perfect.
H.264 is not an editing codec. You need to convert it to ProRes. And them edit in a prores sequence if you are going to mix editing both formats.

Compressor. THere are settings for ProRes in there.

Hi Shane,
because I am encountering another porblem on the same project, I thought I would ask you 🙂
I have done the ProRes convertion; it helps indeed tremendously, phew!
I only have one last problem: the cuts in the soundtracks each have an unpleasant glitch, like a tiny peak that goes “scratch”. Is it another format issue? That never happened on my HDV projects.
Thank you for your help 🙂

Sometimes happens. Add a 2 frame dissolve to cover that.
