1080i workflow example
When working in a 1080i @ 25 fps or 29.97 fps project, you can use HD source
video in the same format as your project, as well as capture HDV and DVCPRO
HD video over the 1394 interface. You can also import supported .mxf and .mp4
files for realtime playback, such as Panasonic P2 1080i .mxf files, and Sony
XDCAM EX 1080i HQ-mode (1920×1080) and 1080i SP-mode (1440×1080)
.mp4 files.
You can export your project to tape in the same format as your project, or you can
choose to downconvert the video to NTSC or PAL (NTSC for a 1080i @
29.97 fps project, or PAL for a 1080i @ 25 fps project).
¦NoteIf you want to capture and edit only HDV clips, you should create a
1440×1080i/p @ 25 fps or 29.97 fps project. A 1440×1080i/p project provides
better editing performance than a full-size 1080i/p (1920×1080) project, and
supports capturing native HDV material over the 1394 interface. A 1440×1080i
@ 25 fps or 29.97 fps project also supports capturing other types of input to
MPEG-2 I-frame HD format.
