PPro: HDV and PPro
I have to tell you I am e x t r e m e l y sceptic of all of the third party HDV editing solutions out there. Mpeg2 editing is a whole different ball game and the NLE really have to be written for it to handle the Mpeg2 stream correctly (AND with FireWire preview as you edit). There's one from CineForm called AspectHD. I suspect all of these third party solutions will go out of business by the next major PPro update. HDV is here to stay -- no question about that. NAB 2004 will have a lot of neat surprises in store for HDV. JVC just announced a really cool desktop player/recorder with a flip out screen.
