What is better for editing HDV

[Eric Jurgenson]

I-frame does encode each frame seperately. It’s IPB (or long GOP) that compresses over a series of frames; and yes, that can bog down in AE or Photoshop. Best to convert that material to a frame-based codec (which includes I-frame).

[Jerry Waters]

You’d have to check with CineForm but I doubt you could use encode at home on the same license, however, if you install the trial version of Aspect at home and then uninstall it, you can retain the codec (even though you don’t buy the program). You could edit at home, take it to the office and render.

I will be reviewing HDV editing using the Matrox RTX.2 vs the Cineform Aspect HD methods some time in the next month or so. I just got my review version of the Matrox card and as soon as I finish moving my editing suite from the old house to the new one, I should have time to take a hard look at the way Matrox enhances HDV editing. I am already a huge Cineform fan, but there just may be a good reason to use the Matrox. We’ll see.

Steven —
I am looking forward to reading your article on these two products. I myself am at a crossroad and am not sure what to go with and am pretty much uneducated as to which product offers what. Let us know when it is finished! Will it be published on your website or here on the cow?
Regards,

I imagine it will be published here. The Cow always gets first dibs on anything I do.

Give me a month or so, since moving houses means moving my editing suite.
