There is a setting for this (I forget where) but have a hunt around in Prefs or Playback settings.

What project preset are you using ?

Lloyd – I am not sure what you are saying.
You said that if you import the HD into an SD project it looks great. SO what is the problem …because that is what I thought you were trying to achieve?
If you can not down rez from the HD project directly it seems easy enough to open an exported file in a SD project (without buying additional software)
BTW: Do you get the flicker problem that Roberta is talking of?

Wish I could help more. I do not know so much about HDV because I work with Panasonic HVX in true progressive frames and luckily for me (PAL)

Lloyd.
Output the HD project (export movie) and open it in a new SD project just fort the purpose of down rezzing.
That gives you both delivery options.

If this helps:
I did some down rez tests recently (note – PAL 720p @ 25fps)
I built a SD 4:3 comp in After Effects and brought in the HD footage. Worked perfectly and it allowed me the ability to PAN and SCAN (keyframed). This I would call a centre extraction (4:3 from 16:9)
I then tried bringing the HD footage into a standard DV project in PremPro. By standard DV project I mean non Cineform AspectHD. I scaled the footage down to fit using motion and that worked fine as well. I would have been able to PAN & SCAN in PremPro had I chosen to.
I did not do any test to quantify the quality differences between the two processes. I intend to in the near future.
Both looked fine on my monitor but I suspect that AE would produce a better result.

Why not try using some markers in the timeline (Program Window) for the musical beats then use the slip/slide tools or just drag the ends of the clips to the markers.
From memory I do not think audio plays in the Trim Window.

Thats what we would have told you to do.

Yes but it requires additional software.
I use
1 – DVCProHD Encoder (Serious Magic) and
2 – CineformApect HD.
Both for different reasons.
Simplest is #1. This “encodes” MXF files as avis. eg DVCPro50 from mxf to avi. Use directly in the PPRO project.
The other #2 – has a app within it – ‘HDLink” that does the same but also is a plug in for Prempro2 that enables editing HD as Cineform avis (intermediates) in Cineform Aspect Projects (presets).
Two versions of Serious Magic product – a standalone or DVRackHD which contains the encoder. (ie $195 or $500)

OH… why did you mention “QT” in your Post Heading but not in your question ?
