Thanks for the tips John ! Seems like I’d read in one of the forums something about using proxy files & gear shift since the Hero HD files are h.264. Then again , I’d also read , just drop the files on the timeline & edit like always . I’ll put it to the test this weekend , when I do the first shoot with this camera. I’d also like to thank you for helping me out with HDV settings 1 year ago , they worked perfectly .
