Same video, different resolution source footage
I’m editing a video using a mix of new (HD) and old (from digital camera) footage and all the clips are different resolutions: 1920X1080, 1280X960, 1280X720, 640X480,320X240.
Any suggestions how to do this? Should I make several sequences at different resolutions? Convert the bigger rez files into smaller rez files using Encoder? Maybe put 4 clips together at once using AE…thus maintaining image quality in a high rez sequence setting?
This video is for a friend just for fun, not professional so it doesn’t need to be perfect.
Or is this just impossible?
thanks guys!

Professionally, you would probably upscale everything, although 320 to 1920 would be pretty rough. There are plugins like instant HD that can improve lower resolution file. At the very least, you would want a widescreen SD sequence. 854×480 in square pixels (desktop preset).
The best solution would probably be to get creative with the smaller files and maybe use them as PIP inside motion graphics, or as tiles with other footage.
