Yes, much better, thank you! I apologise for my behaviour, I get rather stupid when I’m stressed and need people to spell it out for me. In fact, I started to chill while researching and this message put the icing on the cake. Now I feel like I have a better grasp/outlook on the whole thing.
Anyway, thanks for your time and all the info, Shane.

Well as I’ve implied in my previous posts, I’ve been reading! Many sites have different information and it can sometimes be pedantic or difficult to grasp what they’re saying explicitly. I’m not expecting you to give me an extended response, all I asked of you was to describe the notion and what native editing is in brief, summarised terms. I posted the same question on YA… and? I’m honestly just tired of reading the same thing over and over again, hence why I asked this. So, I will ask again, can you answer at least 1 of my 2 questions in a simple manner?

Thank you for answering, but is that it? It that what you and Shane told me? Is it the basic notion/idea of how FCP works with the HDV codec? And as I asked above, I can’t grasp or articulate the meaning of ‘native hdv editing’. Most definitions that say that describe why the process is called ‘native editing’ aren’t very clear and most of it sounds to me like editing jargon, which doesn’t help. Is it a difficult thing to explain or much simpler?

Please note: I’m not looking to perform this process, I’m not using HDV in Final Cut Pro – All these questions are for a report and have nothing to do with me editing, I simply just want some clear insight.

Thank you for your answer, but any specific details? I feel like it’s not as black and white as you say. How does it work natively? What do you mean by ‘natively’? I’m concerned mostly about the notion of how Final Cut Pro works with the HDV codec.
