do u have a recommendation on the HDV editor? as i say, we have over 90 hrs
of 1080i in 24p (the latter of which we want to retain in order to get the
35mm capture look when we export the HDV project to film replicating for the
theaters. we've heard that liquid edition does a really good job of
decoding the inbound HDV into an editable format that is the nearest to
'real world' look and feel during editing, let alone, less intimidating AND
more importantly a software edit rather than a file edit and thus less
rendering. however, like all editors for HDV very slooooooooooow in output
(the latter we're not worried about so long as we retain our projects
originality to format :o)
ideas? recommendations on an editor that is stable, easy to use, and
retains the file format after editing?
