Press the Ctrl key while placing footage if you want it to insert.

There is no way to convert back to HDV without loss. If you really want to have a lossless workflow, keep track of the timecode, jot it down somewhere, and recapture later.
Or, do what I do and use Cineform Aspect HD. An AVI exported from an Aspect HD project can be exported to an external drive and it will be virtually lossless. Not as perfectly lossless as DV, but well within reason.

This might help. I just learned about it a few minutes ago in a post a little farther down.

Whoops. I meant I watch all of “the” podcasts, not “his” podcasts. I don’t want to have people looking all over for something that does not exist.

I said “Wow!” when I saw it. But then, I m a geek.
I missed that tutorial. I watch all his podcasts, but I must have missed some tutorials.

I don’t know for sure, but if I were you, I would start by making the frame size, frame rate, and deinterlacing issues happen during export from After Effects. Do it all there. If that looks good to you, then great. If not, then you might need to do the work inside AE instead of just during the export.

I had an answer, argued with myself, lost the argument, consulted my inner child, and still had trouble deciding what to tell you.
Scaling from 1080 to 720 is not usually that bad. You might find that you like certain parts of the 1080 footage frames better than others and you might want to adjust to center the best part of the larger frame into the smaller frame size.
As long as you make that decision in After Effects before exporting it to be used in Premiere Pro, I believe that you will be happier converting everything to match in After Effects. I don’t believe that the generational loss will be as big a problem as trying to deal with different footage might be.
Only you can check it and find out for yourself. Play with a couple of different clips. One with lots of motion. One with very little. If it looks good, do it that way.

All kidding aside, I would take a browse through all of the keyboard shortcuts in the Keyboard Customization settings to make sure you understand each and every one. It is a great way to learn.

I may not understand the question, however, if you doubleclick on the clip in the sequence, it will put it into the Source monitor and clearly show the in/out points.
Or, if you select the clip in the sequence and press the T key it will do the same thing except that the CTI will be in exactly the right place.
