Thanks for the reply. So if I understand correctly, he can work with the HD project and scale up when he has to, but as long as the output is SD, Movie Studio won’t actually scale anything up if it doesn’t need to?

Also, is there anything else to be aware of in the HDV to DVD workflow within Movie Studio – i.e., does it matter one way or the other whether “adjust source media” in the project settings is ticked, or whether “best” should be selected for rendering quality?

I know with Adobe, there can be a noticeable difference when “maximum render quality” is enabled for downscaling to SD…but I don’t know if something similar is necessary in Movie Studio.
