Thank you so much for your help guys! In the end it wasn’t such a big problem as I thought it to be. Thank god I imported it with timecode and only the raw captured footage was deleted, which could easily be re-captured and reconnected in the sequence.

I might be mistaken Shane, but I don’t think I used QT reference files in my timeline. I didn’t have any issues rerendering or stuff like that, it was just that I deleted the capture scratch with the original files in them. I guess that would leave only reference material in my sequence from those files indeed, but they have been replaced by the originals again now, wouldn’t they?

Thanks again both for your quick help!

Have you tried to directly capture the HDV footage from the Z5 as ProRess 422? It could be the color spaces clashing with eachother.

I am by no means a pro, and it is very possible that what I am suggesting is jibberish, but it might be worth a try. I capture all my HDV footage as ProRess 422 and have combined it frequently with DVCproHD footage from the HVX200 and they go together great.

Good luck!

I guess I am dumber than I thought I was. It turned out the dvdplayer had a setting for 480p,720p,and 1080p. It was a little more fancier player then I was used to. So it was set at 480p and just turning it to 720p did the trick. I hope it will play the same on more regular players as well. Thank you both so much for the advice.

I have encountered the a simular situation. I started out editing with DVCpro 720p 24pn footage and then some shots came in that where shot 720p 30pn (some panshots that needed to be smoother). There was also some HDV footage from a HV30.

I started up editing the 24pn footage in a 23.98 fps sequence. I then created a new DVCpro 720p 60fps sequence, copied the 24pn footage to this timeline and started editing the 30pn and HDV footage in this timeline as well. The HV30 footage was offcourse scaled down a bit, being it was 1080i and (1440×1080). I then rendered it all together in the 60fps timeline.

I am by far not a professional editor and don’t have a technical understanding of have the stuff, so this probably isn’t the best way (maybe even a terrible way) of combining the footage, but it worked ok for me. If you figure out a workflow that does the trick, I would be very much interested.
