Better to DownConvert in XH-A1 or NLE?
With the A1, you can down convert the footage from HD, I personally have not tried this. I have downconverted with Vegas and DVD arch. Which is best..how does the A1 do at this? Which final product looks the best..advantages, disadvantages? J

I've been shooting and editing everything HDV in FCP. But just to see what would happen, I dropped a clip into a regular SD timeline. FCP took it and wanted to render and it looked great.

I've found using the camera the easiest for me with very good results to both DV tape (via firewire) and Beta SP letterboxed (via component).
Biggest advantage IMHO is it's realtime.

Am I losing anything by capturing HDV and converting the files to SD in my NLE? I have been using editing intermediate HDV and rendering to HDV then letting My DVD Architect authoring render as SD..Looks great, but seems that letting the camera convert would certainly allow me to edit SD and render like I did with my XL2, I seem to do that well.

Not sure if that answers your question but basically for most purposes the camera does do a very good downconvert. |
