Jon:
I second your comment about how our views of workflows have changed as storage becomes cheaper. In the early days of DV I developed software that would let you work in Premiere 5 – 6 with low res avi’s (MJPG) derived from original DV and with timecode stamps that Premiere could recognize.

Now DV is the low res for HDV. Works for me.

Interesting that the new Sony Z7 camcorder (due February) with both tape and solid state capture can record HDV to tape while simultaneously capturing DV to the memory card. Looks like Sony too is thinking about this kind of workflow.

Anyway, sorry to be a bit off topic but I have always found Adobe’s project trimmers / managers very cumbersome.

Cheers
David
