HDV to Beta SP workflow
I am editing HDV footage. My final product is then sent to compressor and down converted to ProRes SD, then laid on an sd time line and exported to Beta SP. I feel like I'm loosing some quality somewhere. I'm wondering what some of you guys would recommend as a work flow. Thanks.

why not export directly from timeline to Beta SP?

Digitize the footage as ProRes HD, then use in a ProRes SD timeline, where you can then reframe and size the video as needed.

If you have a Decklink or Kona or Matrox capture card, you should be able to downconvert directly from your FCP timeline to a Beta deck. If you don't, then you would probably be going to a post house to lay off to tape. Ask the post house what options they have for you.

I have a decklink card and it SUCKS. It made my video look like old VHS. I wish i would have gotten a Kona now.

I have used both Decklink and Kona cards, and while I prefer the AJA Kona, your video quality should be nearly identical using similar codecs.
