hdv import export

[frederico parreira]

as far as i know, hdv 1440x1080 will be displayed 1920x1080 in a dvd player. nonetheless, when i start a new project, that will use mostly hdv footage, should i create a hdv 1440 one, or a 1920x1080 one? and if the answer is the first option, when i render and export the movie, should i do it in 1440x1080, or 1920x1080?

 

thanks in advance

You may want to keep it HDV sized all the way. If most of your footage is HDV, then you will only have to render the non HDV parts as opposed to the having to render most of your footage, or all, if the rest of it is in several different formats. Then, at the end, it really depends what you are mastering to. If it is HDV, then keep it that way. I definitely like having a master HD file saved as Pro Res 422 HQ in addition to any other format. To me that would be a good idea. It'll give you options later. It won't look any better necessarily, but it won't look worse than HDV. ;)
