I like the idea of creating an SD file to use as a guide. My success has been as follows:
Create the new project as HDV. Import the SD project. Put the sequence from the imported project on the timeline. The video will likely be too small in dimension . That is good. Close the project. Rename the folder where the existing SD clips are to be something else. Create an empty folder for those clips. If your source material is all in one huge folder, move the SD clips somewhere else. Open the project. When it complains it cant find the source files, choose offline all. Select the now offline clips in the project window/bin and do batch capture. Capture as needed. The timeline should now show you full size clips. Any motion effects will probably need to be redone since the dimensions of the clips have changed. Other effects and trimming should be OK. I have never noticed the issue of cuts on frames within the GAP, but even that should not be a show stopping issue because you can cut on any frame even with HDV material. Possible a clip that was captured on a frame that is now a B or P frame. You may need to capture handles on that clip and adjust accordingly.

Sorry, I dont understand. Flash as in swf as a player, I understand. A Flash player playing an h264 or flv or even mov media file I understand. Flash as a media file? How does that work?

Use one of the effects under Adjust or Image control. The built in wave form monitor may give you a clue as to whether the image is indeed over exposed or not. As would a real TV or calibrated monitor playing actual video HDMI or composite.

we are talking about a hospital here. No Oscars on the horizon. And if its going on a website, corporate of public, 90% of the audience is going to listen with cheap speakers anyway. Digital Juice stack trax ( I know well ) , and other :15 :30 3:00 stock people always have a problem in that the need is for :11, :22 2:42
splicing together intros and extros is a huge pain.
Sonic fire is great because you dont need to know anything about music except to listen. I baught a bunch of Stack Trax and their back trax and am ready to dump the whole mess cheap and go back to Sonic fire. The Adobe sound booth concept sounds great in the literature, but is worse, IMNSHO, than either of the above.
The problem with sonic fire is that every year ( it seems ) they change the software and you need to buy everything over again.
wav files are wav files for as long as there is a microsoft.

Plan B would have been to shoot with each person leaving, teh rest not moving, and THEN disolve them so the empty background dsiolves over the space where the missing peson was. Locked down camera of course

Who are you? Are you Adobe? Why do you care? Whar will you do with this feedback? What is in it for me? Will this change the way Adobe operates?
Inquiring minds want to know?

If you have the CS3 production suite then you have Ultra which works beautifully. See some samples on my blog beachdigital.blogspot.com. There is a bit in the Order of Canada native art clip, the talking stick, that was keyed against just a grey wall. The Charles Taylor prize clips were shot against a collapsible green screen with minimal light in a book store. The lighting for the politician was a bit better. I gotta re-do the white rabbit – that was a demo that was abandonned so I did not invest more time on getting the key right.

Did CS4 come out before Vista? I think not, so it is CS4 not playing nice with the OS rather than the other way around
